> The Perl code is limited to a single string. Longer code can be placed

Examples:
</P><PRE

>plperl.on_init = 'require "plperlinit.pl"'
plperl.on_init = 'use lib "/my/app"; use MyApp::PgInit;'</PRE

> Any modules loaded by <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>plperl.on_init</TT

indirectly, will be available for use by <TT

create a security risk. To see what modules have been loaded you can use:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"

> Initialization will happen in the postmaster if the plperl library is
included in <A
HREF="runtime-config-resource.html#GUC-SHARED-PRELOAD-LIBRARIES"
>shared_preload_libraries</A
>, in which
case extra consideration should be given to the risk of destabilizing
the postmaster. The principal reason for making use of this feature
is that Perl modules loaded by <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>plperl.on_init</TT
> need be
loaded only at postmaster start, and will be instantly available
without loading overhead in individual database sessions. However,
keep in mind that the overhead is avoided only for the first Perl
interpreter used by a database session — either PL/PerlU, or
PL/Perl for the first SQL role that calls a PL/Perl function. Any
additional Perl interpreters created in a database session will have
to execute <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>plperl.on_init</TT
> afresh. Also, on Windows there
will be no savings whatsoever from preloading, since the Perl
interpreter created in the postmaster process does not propagate to
child processes.

If the language is used again the initialization will be attempted
again within a fresh Perl interpreter.
