Yes, we might want to consider making utf8 come pre-loaded for plperl. There
is no direct or easy way to do it (we don't have finer-grained control than
the 'require' opcode), but we could probably dial back restrictions,
'use' it, and then reset the Safe container to its defaults. Not sure what
other problems that may cause, however. CCing to hackers for discussion
there.
UTF8 is automatically on for strings passed to plperl if the db encoding
is UTF8. That includes the source text. Please be more precise about
what you want.
BTW, the perl docs say this about the utf8 pragma:
Do not use this pragma for anything else than telling Perl that your
script is written in UTF-8.
There should be no need to do that - we will have done it for you. So
any attempt to use the utf8 pragma in plperl code is probably broken anyway.
