Hello,

Regarding this from perlvar:

  Remember: the value of $/ is a string, not a regex.  awk has to
            be better for something. :-)

It seems to me that the DFAable rules would intertwingle nicely as
a non-backtracking stream chunker.  Is the form of per-filehandle
input record separators in the Synposes yet?  I couldn't find it.
