and thanks for getting in up to your elbows! this'll be GREAT once
we all catch up and figure out how to make it dance...

i'm looking in
	/usr/share/doc/postgresql-doc/html/user/pl-perl.htm
to figure out how to activate it -- but it seems that this is
for the upstream folks; the debian package should already have
it running, no?

i'm on potato, but i've got the potato link in my sources.list:

	# postgresql 7.* -- for potato?
	deb http://www.samfundet.no/~tfheen/debian potato main

and "dpkg -l postgre\*" shows
	un  postgres95                  <none>
	un  postgres95-dev              <none>
	ii  postgresql                  7.0.3-0potato1
	ii  postgresql-client           7.0.3-0potato1
	ii  postgresql-contrib          7.0.3-0potato1
	ii  postgresql-dev              7.0.3-0potato1
	ii  postgresql-doc              7.0.3-0potato1
	ii  postgresql-pl               7.0.3-0potato1
	in  postgresql-slink            <none>

that's all i need, right?
