I just wrote a quick C program that successfully mmap-ed in all 1639 files in my Linux box's /usr/share/man/man1 directory. Note that in Perl5 we already (indirectly) rely on the OS's ability to mmap in the library code for any XS-based modules. -- "But Sidley Park is already a picture, and a most amiable picture too.
