Well, we seem to have got much closer to what you can live with on the
END block issue, although we took a rather roundabout route to get there.
Perhaps with a little more work we can achieve something similar on the
on_perl_init front (which, in any case, I don't regard as being as
important as the END blocks, although Tim might not agree.)
