I don't intend to stop there. I admit that the gain in value from my 
patch is limited, but I think it is greater than 0, and for a 2 line 
change a cheap win.

When I have bedded down some other things I am working on (e.g. logging 
enhancements, dollar quoting) I intend to look further at some of the 
Perl issues, both on the server side and the client side. As a longtime 
and fond Perl user, I don't like seeing Perl as the poor cousin PL in 
our community.
