That default is XX000 (internal_error):
test=> create function foo()
test-> returns void
test-> language plperl
test-> as $_$
test$> elog(ERROR, 'test error');
test$> $_$;
CREATE FUNCTION
test=> \set VERBOSITY verbose
test=> select foo();
ERROR: XX000: error from Perl function: test error at line 2.
LOCATION: plperl_call_perl_func, plperl.c:1076
The code around plperl.c:1076 is
/* XXX need to find a way to assign an errcode here */
ereport(ERROR,
(errmsg("error from Perl function: %s",
strip_trailing_ws(SvPV(ERRSV, PL_na)))));
I don't see any relevant TODO items. Would something like the
following be appropriate?
* Allow RAISE and its analogues to set SQLSTATE.
