We already have that package installed. It provides the Perl Pg module to interface to a Postgres backend, not to write stored functions.

I know of the upper() and lower() functions but if a word has both upper and lower case in it it won't be returned by a query.

[GENERAL] DBD-Pg vs Pg Perl interface
We currently use the Pg Perl module to interface our CGI scripts to Postgres. What would be the advantages/disadvantages to changing to the more generic DBI/DBD-Pg style interface?
