Sure, it's really simple (and the plperl_array regressions tests exposes this
problem as well):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_array(INTEGER[]) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
my $array = shift;
print "$array"."\n";
$$ LANGUAGE plperl;
/A
I will look into this problem tomorrow unless you'll be lucky to fix it
before that. Thank you for the review and your patch.
