Does anyone have an undump which will work in conjunction
with perl's 'dump' under SunOS 4.x?

I have a large set of perl subroutines (2MB worth of runtime memory) 
which fork copies of themselves
several times. I am interested in getting the operating system to
'share' the perl subroutines (treat them as 'code' rather than 'data')
and not make a separate data space for each forked copy. Is this
possible with 'dump'?
