Because it worked by forcing the Perl script to dump core, then using undump
to convert the result to an executable. Nonportable (undump is impossible
on some architectures), forces formerly shared data and sometimes shared
code to be non-shared, and can do strange and/or ugly things (or not work at
all) if shared libraries are involved. (Which they often are in Perl5 ---
hasn't I/O been moved to a .xs module?)
