At which point, a female friend opens my door and says, ``She doesn't
know what she's talking about. Real men always have the last word!''
Hmmm. I like the accents on ``real'' and ``men'' there.

But I'm afraid that we have digressed from the technical content of what
used to be such a pleasant, technical little newsgroup. It's a shame
that Tom felt it necessary to begin a nontechnical thread here, and that
Randal felt it necessary to second Tom's opinions.

So, in an honest attempt to gently ease us away from this discussion and
into a topic more appropriate to comp.lang.perl, I'll ask: Larry, did
you try out the checkpointer I sent? Any chance it might help perl -u
work on machines where the Emacs code doesn't? There has been quite a
bit of discussion about unexec() recently.
