Okay, it sure makes sense to _really_ check in @INC, it's just quite complicated
compared to checking the stash. One question about that stuff. Why isn't there
a generic function somwehre in perl to convert Perl package name to a filename ? Or
haven't
I looked enough... Because I have the impression that simply s/::/\//g and slapping
a '.pm' at the end most definitely doesn't work on all platforms ...

Yes, I understand why these things should be avoided ;-)
I just wonder what should be the clean way to dynamically allocate memory when
you need it, if you need it, without a handle on things like the current
request/pool...

gethostent not implemented : Your C library apparently
doesn't implement gethostent(), probably because if it did,
it'd feel morally obligated to return every hostname on the
