I just compiled my postgresql port (postgresql-7.0.2, FreeBSD 4.2) with
-DWITH_PERL, but I can't use plperl. Has anyone succeded to install this
way? The strange thing is that I can't find plperl.so anywhere!

Did you pay attention to the make output? Most likely it didn't build
plperl because it couldn't find a shared library for libperl.

libperl.so isn't built by default in any perl release that I know of;
you have to do a manual configure/build of the Perl sources and
explicitly ask for a shared library to be built during Perl's
interactive configure script. It's a real pain in the neck :-(
