Commit 59702716 added transition table support to PL/pgsql so that
SQL queries in trigger functions could access those transient
tables. In order to provide the same level of support for PL/perl,
PL/python and PL/tcl, refactor the relevant code into a new
function SPI_register_trigger_data. Call the new function in the
trigger handler of all four PLs, and document it as a public SPI
function so that authors of out-of-tree PLs can do the same.
Also get rid of a second QueryEnvironment object that was
maintained by PL/pgsql. That was previously used to deal with
cursors, but the same approach wasn't appropriate for PLs that are
less tangled up with core code. Instead, have SPI_cursor_open
install the connection's current QueryEnvironment, as already
happens for SPI_execute_plan.
While in the docs, remove the note that transition tables were only
supported in C and PL/pgSQL triggers, and correct some ommissions.

src/pl/plperl/README PL/Perl allows you to write PostgreSQL functions and procedures in Perl. To include PL/Perl in the build use './configure --with-perl'. To build from this directory use 'make all; make install'. libperl must have been built as a shared library, which is usually not the case in standard installations. Consult the PostgreSQL User's Guide and the INSTALL file in the top-level directory of the source distribution for more information.
