Whoa! That's weird! I did run a test before making that statment. I don't know why, but my test (below) freezes (while yours works). A bug in the optimization code? `perl -e "until (0) { print "a\n" }` [download] (I figured I'd just Ctrl-C it)	[reply] [d/l]

Try `perl -e "until (0) {print qq(a\n)}"` and then smack yourself when you notice the two errors that caused you to have problems. :-P	[reply] [d/l]
