Nice improvement. It passes all the regression tests on my OS X system. I have only a minor suggestion, I think
is_arrayis worth mentioning in the utility functions chapter of the pl/perl documentation, it would be also more clear
touse it in regression tests as opposed to manually checking whether the ref is equal to
'PostgreSQL::InServer::ARRAY'.
