And it can be transparent, if it isn't already.  Why does perl
need to be monolithic?  I thought I selcted to build as shared
libraries, splitting that into several shared libraries might
be entirely painless.  So if my program has getprotobyname in it
clarifying that token will take a moment, but then all the other
weird socket calls will be there to use.


How about automatic library search before syntax error?
