A good idea. I should point out that it's not the VMS debugging info per se
that makes perl slower, it's the fact that we turn all optimizations off
that hurts.

If you did an MMS INSTALL into your home directory (or anywhere, really)
you don't need to reinstall the thing to move it to a different disk. Just
do a BACKUP of the tree from where it is to where it should be and you'll
be fine.
