+ PL/Perl is a loadable procedural language that enables you to write
+ <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> functions and procedures in the
+ <a class="ulink" href="https://www.perl.org" target="_top">Perl programming language</a>.
+ </p><p>
+ The main advantage to using PL/Perl is that this allows use,
+ within stored functions and procedures, of the manyfold <span class="quote">“<span class="quote">string
+ munging</span>”</span> operators and functions available for Perl. Parsing
+ complex strings might be easier using Perl than it is with the
+ string functions and control structures provided in PL/pgSQL.
+ </p><p>
+ To install PL/Perl in a particular database, use
+ <code class="literal">CREATE EXTENSION plperl</code>.
+ </p><div class="tip"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3><p>
+ If a language is installed into <code class="literal">template1</code>, all subsequently
+ created databases will have the language installed automatically.
+ </p></div><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
+ Users of source packages must specially enable the build of
+ PL/Perl during the installation process. (Refer to <a class="xref" href="installation.html" title="Chapter 16. Installation from Source Code">Chapter 16</a> for more information.) Users of
+ binary packages might find PL/Perl in a separate subpackage.
