Hmmm ... languages without pointers shouldn't segfault, should they?  And yet,
yesterday, through the wee hours and into today I've managed to accidentally
make perl segfault dozens of times.  I think you may be right.

Unless you're speaking of not trusting women, then I don't really know.

(It's amazing how quickly a sloppily written perl script can eat up 384M
of RAM, 700M of swap and fall over dead!  Boy, these newer computers are
fast!)
