This is a reminder that people new to developing VMs may find it useful to leaf through http://www.netthink.co.uk/downloads/internals.pdf and http://www.netthink.co.uk/downloads/internals for the Perl 5 internals tutorial; there's stuff on lexical variables there, for instance. -- You want to read that stuff, fine. You want to create a network for such things, fine. You want to explore the theoretical boundaries of free speech, fine. But when it starts impacting *people* trying to *communicate*, then that is where I draw the line. - Russ Allbery, http://www.slacker.com/rant.html
