Consider the case where an AFTER STATEMENT trigger calls a plperl function which performs a loop. Inside of the loop it updates at least one other table.

The table being updated has an AFTER STATEMENT trigger that calls the same plperl function (w/different parms of course), which goes into another loop.
Presumably this could go to any number of levels.

What I have noticed is that once the innermost instance exits, none of the outer instances execute any further, suggesting that the plperl routine is not "re-entrant" (if I am using that term correctly).

Is this right?  Am I missing something?
