- That was me. I had posted the problem in such a way that it looked as if
- I didn't understand the infinite recursion issue, so it probably didn't
- get a lot of attention (and I was sort of immature in my blasting people for
- telling me about infinite recursion, as if I should expect them to know more
- about me than just what I posted [sorry Raphael!], so that didn't help).
-
- But one nice response was from one L. Wall who noted that it was a known
- problem that was (if I remember correctly... it was a while ago) rather
- embedded into p4, but wouldn't be an issue in V since he was rewriting
- the offending code.

- sub foo { print "just another perl ", &foo, "\n"; }; &foo;
