How about something like this? (untested)
# oids are a special case; ignore
next if $attname eq 'oid';
# pg_class.relnatts is computed from pg_attribute rows; ignore
next if $catname eq 'pg_class' and $attname eq 'relnatts';
# Raise error unless a value exists.
die "strip_default_values: $catname.$attname undefined\n"
if !defined $row->{$attname};
