Many people think Perl and CGI are in fact the same. They are so closely bonded that it's by far perl's most popular cross platform use. Yves and Nick have covered the other points. The module that fixes this solution does indeed belong in the core. I would be very useful not only to Perl and a CGI processor, but in all it's other applications. Being able to control Perl CPU, memory and running time behaviour has got to be a plus in all applications. Particularly when testing and debugging complicated new programs. Lyle Hopkins
