Thanks for the help!

here's another one, then.  "<&=" is described (in Programming Perl, page
193) as possibly causing trouble if multiple filehandles share the same file
descriptor, so one filehandle getting closed may close the others.  If I
have multiple CGI instances running, could this cause a problem, or would
the descriptor be different every time?  (On Win32)
