It should reset automatically, so the behavior your describe is a bug. However,
I was not able to reproduce that bug from your description. Can you send me the
program and tell me:

 - At which point you pressed Command-.
 - Whether the bug occurred 100% of the time or only some of the time.
 - Whether you are running MacPerl 5.1.5r4 (just checking :-)
