Put another way:
HEAD: only people with plperl granted can make functions to manipulate $_SHARED
PATCH: anyone can set plperl.plperl_safe_init (but note not
plperlu_init as its SUSER) and manipulate $_SHARED
Proposed fix: only people with plperl granted can set
plperl.plplerl_safe_init and hence restore HEAD behavior
