Not quite there yet

I downloaded the new PostgreSQL 9.0 and it isn't quite there yet:
-bash-3.2$ NEWDATADIR=`pwd`
-bash-3.2$ OLDBINDIR=/usr/bin
-bash-3.2$ NEWBINDIR=/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/bin/
-bash-3.2$ pg_upgrade

-bash-3.2$ less /opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/data/loadable_libraries.txt
Failed to load library: $libdir/plperl
ERROR: could not load library "/opt/PostgreSQL/9.0/lib/postgresql/
plperl.so": libperl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or
directory

That means that the new version (EnterpriseDB binary installer) doesn't
support plperl/plperlu . Unfortunately, I have functions written in
plperl and plperlu. Playing with the new version will have to wait a bit.
