It's not a function ... writing a copy() function returning text[] (or setof text[], which would be better) in plperlu would be trivial. But it couldn't read from stdin or be able to be fed data from a client in copy-in mode.

And even if we have it what does the sql look like to insert the values into some table with n columns?

Anything along these lines in C is likely to be far larger than what I had in mind, which was a fairly minor enhancement.
