If an ISP is offering virtual private servers (where you get full access to your own virtual machine) then installing postgresql and perl on them will be trivial (just one command on popular linux distributions). So if you're wanting to run the database in your VM then most anyone offering VPS hosting will have what you need. You're unlikely to get perl or postgresql specific support - but your ISP isn't where you'd usually look for that.

If you want somewhere that offers both virtual machines and managed postgresql hosting that's tougher, but http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_hosting is probably a good place to start.
