Nope. I'll suggest that for the TODO list ... we already have several
requests for added features for PL/pgSQL. The problem is that we currently
don't have a lead developer for PL/pgSQL, so the language has rather
stagnated.

And what's wrong with Perl? Other than the inability to write triggers with
it? (We want to enable triggers in PL/perl, but that functionality isn't
coming until at least 7.5).
