Also consider pltcl, which has pretty nearly perl-equivalent regexp
support, and can do queries too.  Besides which it's easier to build/
install than plperl.

It's a shame that plperl doesn't yet have support for making queries.
It hasn't really progressed much past the proof-of-concept stage IMHO,
but no one is working on it :-(
