Tom Lane 87c4b82197 Harden PL/Perl code against "tied" Perl arrays and hashes.
Tied arrays might report different sizes each time they are inspected.
To avoid generating a corrupt result array, fix plperl_array_to_datum()
to read av_len() of each input array only once.  If the input does
appear to get shorter, we'll fill nulls for the now-missing entries,
which seems fine.  Conversely, if it gets longer, we'll ignore the new
entries.

plperl_to_hstore() assumed that Perl's hv_iterinit() returns the
number of entries in the given Perl hash.  Usually that's true,
but per the Perl docs, "the return value is currently only meaningful
for hashes without tie magic".  That could potentially end in a memory
stomp.  We don't depend on that result value anywhere else, so don't
do so here either.

The PostgreSQL contrib tree
---------------------------

This subtree contains porting tools, analysis utilities, and plug-in
features that are not part of the core PostgreSQL system, mainly
because they address a limited audience or are too experimental to be
part of the main source tree.  This does not preclude their
usefulness.

User documentation for each module appears in the main SGML
documentation.

When building from the source distribution, these modules are not
built automatically, unless you build the "world" target.  You can
also build and install them all by running "make all" and "make
install" in this directory; or to build and install just one selected
module, do the same in that module's subdirectory.

Some directories supply new user-defined functions, operators, or
types.  To make use of one of these modules, after you have installed
the code you need to register the new SQL objects in the database
system by executing a CREATE EXTENSION command.  In a fresh database,
you can simply do

    CREATE EXTENSION module_name;

See the PostgreSQL documentation for more information about this
procedure.
