I ran the attached program, commenting out first one 'while' loop and
then the other, on both Darwin and Linux, with Perl 5.14. In all cases,
the program simply hung; none of the 'print' statements ever materialized.

So either I misunderstood what I was supposed to be doing, or the
program still does not work. Should it have?

Thank you very much.

It works here as expected (both 'while' variants).

Perl 5.12 and 5.14 on Fedora 14.

For the record: resolved. "stalled" is "this is definitely a bug we want to
work on but we can't make progress until _____"
