I am trying to examine the values of $_TD->{new}. I thought the easiest way
to see what this structure looked like was to use the Dumper functionality.
To do so I need to include the appropriate Perl module, which I would think
would be done like this:

use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);

But inserting that into the script to create the function, like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION valid_id() RETURNS trigger AS $$
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);
    if (($_TD->{new}{i} >= 100) || ($_TD->{new}{i} <= 0)) {
        ......

Returned this error message:

ERROR:  Unable to load Data/Dumper.pm into plperl at line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at line 2.
CONTEXT:  compilation of PL/Perl function "valid_id"

What do I have to do to use Perl modules in plperl function/

BTW this works outside plperl

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper);

..................

Thanks for the help.
