...you're worried about localising global variables within buffers. Why? You don't mention anything about global variables in your explanation of why buffers would be great to have in Perl.
Yeah. And furthermore, is the concern about the truly-globals, like
$_,
$\, etc.? Or about package variables? If the latter, then putting each buffer in its own namespace might be the 90% solution, wrt the "global variable localization" problem.
(I still think putting each buffer in its own
thread might be the 100% solution, btw.)
