Or we could, I suppose, embed a copy of VMSPIPE.COM inside VMS.C and dump 
it out to SYS$SCRATCH if we can't find a real one, though that's probably 
going a little *too* far...

When you get right down to it, perl's hosed if it's library's 
dysfunctional, so if folks *do* mess things up we can just tell 'em "Don't 
*do* that!"
