Probably badly timed suggestion: pl/perl calling style same as C style

With plperl.on_init allowing the loading of modules, might there be some
merit (and little cost) in allowing the same style of function-mapping as
with C functions?

CREATE FUNCTION add_one(integer) RETURNS integer
    AS 'DIRECTORY/funcs', 'add_one'
    LANGUAGE C STRICT;

CREATE FUNCTION add_one(integer) RETURNS integer
    AS 'My::Package', 'add_one'
    LANGUAGE plperl STRICT;

+1, fwiw

Interesting... Seems like a good idea. But it aint gonna happen for 9.0 :(
