a) that says your server is running 11.3, not 9.6 (you might want to update your own machine). b) That really depends on how it was installed. If they used a normal package repo they'll just want to install the postgresql11-plperl package or equivalent, and then restart PostgreSQL (although I'm not actually sure the restart is required?) and then do a "CREATE EXTENSION plperlu;" in your database. If they did some kind of custom installation then they might need to just figure it out.
