Unfortunately not:

============== creating database "pl_regression"      ==============
CREATE DATABASE
ALTER DATABASE
============== installing plperl                      ==============
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
connection to server was lost

The only interesting line in log/postmaster.log is a log_line_prefix-less
Util.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xd500080, needed 0xd600080)
... which is unchanged from the beta2 output.
