If it's chasing poorly defined logicals around, then you might
see a dramatic increase in "Log Name Translation Rate" when
you do a "MON IO" command when this hanging Perl is running.

I don't know what is in miniperl, so this may be irrelevant:
Is perl built to pre-load the environment array? If so, perhaps there is
some loop in the logicals?
Or do miniperl and perl both use a logical which is incorrectly defined?
[In the past, I've seen CPU chewed up by (e.g.) LINK if it was given a list
of paths to object files, and one of the paths was missing. If I remember
correctly, the problem was due to the way the library routines handled
defaults when moving from one path to the next.]
