It doesn't have to be strictly Perl, does it? I mean, I think that on
comp.lang.perl.misc the rules are too strict, IMO. If you say "I don't
know how to use SIG handlers", they say "that's not a Perl question.
Look it up in the man pages of your system". Great.

Anyway, I think Vicki's overreacting a bit. If people ask a question
about a Unix Perl, on a subject that cannot possibly apply to the Mac,
and worst of all, DON'T EVEN SAY IT, well, there's where *I* draw the
line.

Oh well. I won't loose sleep over it.
