No, and nobody seemed to care much about the poroblem :-( Maybe I will 
get a chance to do something about it during the next few weeks, 
although I am currently busier than a one legged man in a butt-kicking 
contest.

The GUC code is a mess w.r.t. this, and I didn't come up with a nice 
solution. Everything I thought of to try to fix it was so unspeakably 
ugly and fragile that I didn't even bother bringing it up.

The one thing we could possibly usefully do for plperl is to move the 
GUC setup code from _PG_init() to plperl_init_interp(), protected by a 
flag to make sure it only runs once. But most of the problem lies 
outside plperl's code.

But by all means file a bug report, so we don't lose track of it.
