+ The argument values supplied to a PL/Perl function's code are
+ simply the input arguments converted to text form (just as if they
+ had been displayed by a <code class="command">SELECT</code> statement).
+ Conversely, the <code class="function">return</code> and <code class="function">return_next</code>
+ commands will accept any string that is acceptable input format
+ for the function's declared return type.
+ </p><p>
+ If this behavior is inconvenient for a particular case, it can be
+ improved by using a transform, as already illustrated
+ for <code class="type">bool</code> values. Several examples of transform modules
+ are included in the <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> distribution.
