Re: [MacPerl] MacPerl/Alpha hangs

If you hit command-period (in Alpha) while it is "hung", it should come
back to you. It's just waiting for the reply to the AppleEvent it sent to
MacPerl. You might even be able to prevent this by flipping one of the
flags in the Perl mode (not sure, and you probably wouldn't want to,
anyway.)
