HOW do you find out if your postgresql (mine's 7.0.3) can support the plperl.so feature? And HOW do you go about installing it, if it does? What parts are necessary?

See http://www.postgresql.org/devel-corner/docs/postgres/plperl.html These are 7.1 docs but the info applies to 7.0 as well.

The main trick is that you need a Perl installation that has a shared library for perl (libperl.so, not libperl.a). This usually requires building Perl from source, since it's not the default configuration. It's easy enough if you build Perl from source, just say "yes" when Perl's interactive configure script asks if you want a shlib.
