[EMAIL PROTECTED] would be the right list, but Jarkko and I
Would someone like to take a crack at a PDD for the PerlIO system? It
doesn't need to be particularly fancy (nor complete) to start with, but
having one will give us a place to work from. (Waiting for me to spec it
out may take a while...)

First off, this looks really cool to me, nice job. The only thing I'm a

I think one of the things we might want to do is figure out what people use
signals for and see if we can abstract out some of that functionality
without actually exposing signals. (From an internals standpoint, at least)
The big one I can think of is interrupting timers. Right now people use
