What exactly are you proposing to check, and where, and what do you
think that will fix?

If the concern is that someone could sabotage the behavior of a plperl
function by changing things around in the perl_init script, then I think
we have to forget about making it USERSET. Whether someone has been
granted permission to use plperl seems to me to have little to do with
whether it's okay to mess up a function (possibly a SECURITY DEFINER
one) belonging to someone else.
