I believe that plperl failures are related to building perl as a shared
library which isn't done in many platforms. PL/Perl by itself seems pretty
darn stable to me.

Now, when PL/Perl will have some sort of SPI interface...That'd rock ;)
My idea was to implement SPI as a DBD driver, such as DBD::PgSPI, but I
don't have time to implement it...
