I disagree. The crucial difference is that DBD::Pg is a client side
library and plperl is not.
I would like all perl programmers to be able to use the same (or
similar) idioms on both the client side and the server side. (Just as
one can use JDBC idioms in PL/Java, iirc). So I want a DBI handle to be
available in core plperl if possible.
