Here's a draft patch for that. I ended up only changing
plperl_sv_to_datum. There is maybe a case for doing something
similar in plperl_return_next_internal's fn_retistuple code path,
so that you can return a reference-to-reference-to-hash there;
but I was unable to muster much enthusiasm for touching that.
