If an ISP is offering virtual private servers (where you get full access to your own virtual machine) then installing
postgresqland perl on them will be trivial (just one command on popular linux distributions). So if you're wanting to
runthe database in your VM then most anyone offering VPS hosting will have what you need. You're unlikely to get perl
orpostgresql specific support - but your ISP isn't where you'd usually look for that. 

If you want somewhere that offers both virtual machines and managed postgresql hosting that's tougher, but
http://www.postgresql.org/support/professional_hostingis probably a good place to start.
