While you're at it, I have a new problem:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION wtf(
expression text
) RETURNS text LANGUAGE plperl AS $$
return "{$_[0]}";
$$;

try=# select wtf('foo');
wtf
-----
{
(1 row)

Note how I don't even get the closing "}". This does not happen with PL/PerlU. The denizens of #postgresql think that there's some sort of issue with Safe and Encode or Encode::Alias (the latter `require`s Encode in two if its methods). Can you replicate it? It's driving me absolutely batshit. I'm using Perl 5.10.2, Safe 2.20, and Encode 2.39.

Thanks,

David
