plperlu and perl 5.10

I'm trying to upgrade to perl 5.10, and realized that plperlu is still
using 5.8. How exactly does pgsql determine where to look/what
version to use for plperlu?

You need to recompile. You also need a pretty darn recent release of PG
(we only fixed things for 5.10 on 2008-01-22, according to the CVS
history).

Recompile PG? Even if I'm running 8.3.1, released well after that?

Thanks,

Oh, sorry, do you mean, it's ready for 5.10 but still compiled with
5.8 for now? If so, is there a timeline for compiling with 5.10 by
default in the production releases of pgsql?

Thanks,
Kev

You should request that to your package provider.

Would that be Dave Page? (I went to the win32 binary readme, was that
the right place to find out?)

Like Alvaro says, that will be down to the package provider.

I'm prepared to bet good money though that it will co-incide with
whenever they ship Perl 5.10 with your system.

Think about it - how happy would you have been with a plperl that
*didn't* work with your default version of Perl? :-)

The day Microsoft starts shipping Perl with Windows...hmm... ;)

Sorry, I probably should've mentioned the platform I have to use,
somewhere.
