Hello hackers,
As recent caiman failures ([1], [2], ...) show, plperl.sql is
incompatible
with Perl 5.40. (The last successful test runs took place when cayman
had Perl 5.38.2 installed: [3].)
FWIW, I've found an already-existing fix for the issue [4] and a note
describing the change for Perl 5.39.10 [5].

It's a very odd bug. I guess we should just backpatch the removal of
that redundant version check in plc_perlboot.pl, probably all the way
down to 9.2 since godwit builds and tests with plperl that far back,
and some day in the not too distant future it will upgrade to perl 5.40.
Done.
cheers
