in thread Slow evolution of Perl = Perl is a closed Word

That's a cute way to do it, but it doesn't allow my to look at the split documentation while I update my code.

Anyway, I use Windowmaker on a two screen system, so I have all the screen real estate that I need -- an extra xterm just showing me documentation on split just makes sense.

    Well, I'm not trying to convince you, (and not mention that this may be awkward) but you still can look at the split doc in the splitted window, :new +r!perldoc\ -f\ split (of course, it can be handier with a mapping or two :-)). Then ZQ to discard it when you're done with it.
