    Create contrib/bool_plperl to provide a bool transform for PL/Perl[U]. · 36058a3c
    Tom Lane authored
    plperl's default handling of bool arguments or results is not terribly
    satisfactory, since Perl doesn't consider the string 'f' to be false.
    Ideally we'd just fix that, but the backwards-compatibility hazard
    would be substantial.  Instead, build a TRANSFORM module that can
    be optionally applied to provide saner semantics.
    
    Perhaps usefully, this is also about the minimum possible skeletal
    example of a plperl transform module; so it might be a better starting
    point for user-written transform modules than hstore_plperl or
    jsonb_plperl.
