pl/Perl

Hello

Few questions about pl/perl as the docs on this are very sparse..
(i find that with our procedural language docs in general)

1: can you call other stored procedures from within pl/Perl

2: from within a pl/Perl script , can i do a select etc..
i'm assuming no, because you cannot use DBI.. but just wondering
if there is a way..

3: installing it.. i installed postgres 7.0.3 from ports on my fbsd system.
when i tried to install pl/perl i get this..

cd /usr/ports/databases/postgresql7/work/postgresql-7.0.2/src/pl/plperl/
perl Makefile.pl
make
