Nice code, I'll use it elsewhere, but this does not really address my
particular problem.  I don't have access to the parent's code (I do
but I don't want to have to) to play w/ its ptys.

Since emacs uses a pty when you have an emacs shell, you can't (or at
least I can't) run a perl script from w/in an emacs shell.  This
behavior is what I'm asking about, i.e. can YOU run a perl script
from w/in an emacs shell?  Can you run `perl -d' on this same script
from w/in an emacs shell?
