I don't think so, and I don't have time to properly test at the moment. But on a related note, what's the status of allowing the COW stuff in? Peter has done some benchmarking (not much but more than people do for anything else) and has so far only shown speedups. (And I've been writing perl5 code recently that would have been much simpler if I knew the core was doing COW so I didn't have to worry about several useless tens-of-MB copies per operation.) Essentially, what benchmarking or other legwork needs to be done to get COW in?
