Works for me too, in recent releases. I believe PERFORM did not originally
set FOUND ... are you reading the documentation that goes with your server
version?

[ digs in CVS logs... ] Here we go:

* src/pl/plpgsql/src/pl_exec.c: plpgsql's PERFORM statement now
sets FOUND depending on whether any rows were returned by the
performed query. Per recent pgsql-general discussion.

So it should work in 7.3 or later.
