I have only a minor suggestion, I think is_array is worth mentioning in the utility functions chapter of the pl/perl documentation, it would be also more clear to use it in regression tests as opposed to manually checking whether the ref is equal to  'PostgreSQL::InServer::ARRAY'.

Both done in the attached. I also renamed is_array() to
is_array_ref() for clarity (hopefully).
