May's LAPUG Recap:
Jaun Jose' Natera developed a fascinating presentation on Perl and how it can be used as a procedural language in PostgreSQL. The Perl Mongers certainly filled up the seats during the discussion and we were happy to have them. We first started with how to install PL-PERL and then worked our way to Perl's strengths as a application language. In addition to explaining some of the finer points of using "references" in Perl, Jaun demonstrated how immutable, volatile single value and set returning functions can be implemented in Perl.
