Re: pl/Perl

Tom,

1.Where or how I can get pltcl.so? I have not find this file anywhere in
my
source except a pltcl.c.
2.Dose installation same as plpgsql?
i.e.
CREATE FUNCTION pltcl_call_handler () RETURNS OPAQUE AS
'/usr/local/pgsql/lib/pltcl.so' LANGUAGE 'C';
CREATE TRUSTED PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'pltcl'
HANDLER pltcl_call_handler
LANCOMPILER 'PL/pgtcl';
3.Where I can find more doc about pltcl?

Thanks for your time.
