Re: syntax error in plperl wrapper for Perl regex replace.

Hi, Cédric.

Works! Thank you very much for the hint. Apparently, you are much more
experienced with Perl, than me.

Just for reference, my working function wrapper for Perl regexp replace
now looks like this:

----------
create or replace function perl_regexp_replace (text, text, text, text)
    returns text as $funcbody$

$_=$_[0];
eval "s/$_[1]/$_[2]/$_[3]";
return $_;

$funcbody$ language plperl immutable strict;
----------

Regards, Roman.
