Yeah, I see the same; but it's not in the devel docs.  Compare
	http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plperl.html
	http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/plperl.html
and look for instance at the empcomp() function about halfway down
the page:
    return $emp-> + $emp->;
vs
    return $emp->{basesalary} + $emp->{bonus};

Any theories what's wrong here?

I have fixed this.  We now just need someone to rebuild the docs for
8.0.  The developers page will show the CVS version where this is fixed.

Thanks for the report.

  4. 8.0.0 on disk fails regress test, but on ram disk it is fine...

    Jeff Ross <jross@openvistas.net> — 2005-01-22T23:45:33Z

    I'm preparing to upgrade our PostgreSQL installation from 7.3.5 to 
8.0.0.  I downloaded, configured, compiled, and did gmake check and 
much to my surprise, 26 of the 96 tests failed.

Examination of regression.diffs shows that 1 of the failures is random 
(and it is ignored) but 23 of the 26 errors are:

! psql: could not send startup packet: Broken pipe

Interestingly enough, if I load the source code onto a 1GB ram disk and 
configure, compile and check it there, all 96 tests pass.

Hardware is RAID 1 using 2 disks with one additional disk as a hot 
spare, dual 2.66 GHz Xeon processors with 2 GB of RAM.  Operating 
system is OpenBSD 3.6.

I'm a little leary of upgrading my PostgreSQL installation with those 
kind of failure rates.

I'd appreciate any insight as to why so many tests would fail when run 
on disk and pass when run in ram.

Thanks,

Jeff Ross

Didn't you read the rest of the thread?  The problem was incorrect
filtering of the docs by the webpage template, not anything wrong with
the SGML.

The > to &gt; changes you made are no doubt good for cleanliness' sake,
but they were not necessary and there is no urgent reason to rebuild
anything.
