I have attached the following seven patches to address this problem:

1. Trivial. Replaces some errant spaces with tabs.

2. Trivial. Fixes the spelling of Jan's name, and gets rid of many
   inane, useless, annoying, and often misleading comments. Here's
   a sample: "plperl_init_all() - Initialize all".

   (I have tried to add some useful comments here and there, and will
   continue to do so now and again.)

3. Trivial. Splits up some long lines.

4. Converts SRFs in PL/Perl to use a Tuplestore and SFRM_Materialize
   to return the result set, based on the PL/PgSQL model.

   There are two major consequences: result sets will spill to disk when
   they can no longer fit in work_mem; and "select foo_srf()" no longer
   works. (I didn't lose sleep over the latter, since that form is not
   valid in PL/PgSQL, and it's not documented in PL/Perl.)

5. Trivial, but important. Fixes use of "undef" instead of undef. This
   would cause empty functions to fail in bizarre ways. I suspect that
   there's still another (old) bug here. I'll investigate further.

6. Moves the majority of (4) out into a new plperl_return_next()
   function, to make it possible to expose the functionality to
   Perl; cleans up some of the code besides.

7. Add an spi_return_next function for use in Perl code.

If you want to apply the patches and try them out, 8-composite.diff is
what you should use. (Note: my patches depend upon Andrew's use-strict
and %_SHARED patches being applied.)

Here's something to try:

    create or replace function foo() returns setof record as $$
    $i = 0;
    for ("World", "PostgreSQL", "PL/Perl") {
        spi_return_next({f1=>++$i, f2=>'Hello', f3=>$_});
    }
    return;
    $$ language plperl;
    select * from foo() as (f1 integer, f2 text, f3 text);

Revise handling of dropped columns in JOIN alias lists to avoid a
performance problem pointed out by phil@vodafone: to wit, we were
spending O(N^2) time to check dropped-ness in an N-deep join tree,
even in the case where the tree was freshly constructed and couldn't
possibly mention any dropped columns.  Instead of recursing in
get_rte_attribute_is_dropped(), change the data structure definition:
the joinaliasvars list of a JOIN RTE must have a NULL Const instead
of a Var at any position that references a now-dropped column.  This
costs nothing during normal parse-rewrite-plan path, and instead we
have a linear-time update to make when loading a stored rule that
might contain now-dropped columns.  While at it, move the responsibility
for acquring locks on relations referenced by rules into this separate
function (which I therefore chose to call AcquireRewriteLocks).

--- in the normal path at a cost of one extra non-locked heap_open()

that it is now *much* clearer that we acquire lock on relations referenced
