No idea. Does anyone have Perl 4 and can try it (and fix it)? Surely Perl
4 supports regular expressions and flow control.

But USE_PERL determines whether to build the Pg.pm module. Your proposal
will lead to most obvious failures if someone checks out the CVS tree and
builds without --with-perl. The solution is to test for the required
program, not to overload configuration options.

Didn't make a difference. :( I'm out of wisdom now, so my verdict is don't
use Unix sockets on this platform. Now if there was only an option to turn
them off ...
Residual observations:
1) The broken pipe errors I am talking about always occur after the system
has been up and used a little while. That is, in the parallel regression
tests I always get the failures in the last half or third, mostly after
the "misc" test.
2) Doing a chmod a-x /tmp/.s.PGSQL.65432 right after postmaster startup
seems to cut down on the number of occurences of this problem.
