Yeah, however if I had to guess: the system user 'postges' can execute
telnet but system('telnet') from within plperlu fails. (Or the other
way around?)  Still not much we can do without error messages or test
cases ;).  My hunch would be hrm, its centos... selinux related?  Try
fiddling with that.  Also make sure you specify the full path or that
your PATH is set right.

Obviously including any relevant error messages :).
