Here you can find a very rudimental pl/perl stored procedure that will
send simple emails:
https://github.com/fluca1978/fluca1978-pg-utils/blob/master/bsdmag/03-server-side-programming/15-email-perl.sql
However, depending on the aim of your mail messaging, I would consider
having a shell script fecthing data out of PostgreSQL on a per-cron
basis and arranging a message to pipe thru a mail program (mutt,
sendmail, postfix, whatever). This can be much more general and will
let you reuse the mailing part for other jobs.
