hi, i wrote this function: #v+ CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test(TEXT) RETURNS bool language plperl as $$ return (shift =~ /[a-ząćęłńóśźżĄĆĘŁŃŚÓŹŻ0-9_-]+/i) || 0; $$; #v- it's functioning it not really relevant. important thing is, that the creation of it fails: psql:z.sql:25: ERROR: creation of Perl function "texts_words_iu" failed: 'require' trapped by operation mask at line 15. it looks strange - what "require"? i mean - it is possible that perl itself loads something that is related to handling polish characters. if i'll remove "i" flag to regexp matching - it works ok. so, i assume perl loads something like "locale" or "utf8" modules to handle //i, but since the error message doesn't mention what module it tried to load it is quite hard to understand it. also - perhaps loading of this particular module should be allowed even in plperl? otherwise it requires me to use plperlu for even the simple task of regexp matching. if i'll remove //i flag - it works correctly, but then i have to change "a-z" to "a-zA-Z", and it's not really nice. any ideas what's wrong, and how can i fix it? depesz -- quicksil1er: "postgres is excellent, but like any DB it requires a highly paid DBA. here's my CV!" :) http://www.depesz.com/ - blog dla ciebie (i moje CV) ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not match
