Are there any examples of that?  While I can hack my way through
regular expressions when I need them, perl as a language is
something I don't know at all; with an example I might be able to
come up to speed quickly, though.

I need to run statements against a database; I don't particularly
need any special features of psql for this.  Can anyone confirm that
pgTAP can let you interleave specific statements against specific
connections in a specific sequence?  (The answer to that didn't leap
out at me in a quick scan of the docs.)
