Actually, that is not true.  Duplicate MacPerl and run two copies.

The Mac OS *does* assign process IDs.

Regardless, I believe Frontier and AppleScript can execute multiple scripts
simultaneously, and that is the point; not that I would want Matthias to
change MacPerl to do such a thing (even if he could), but it is a "problem"
with Perl, not specifically the Mac OS (though the OS is part of the
"problem," yes).
