in reply to debugging possible memory crash?

Indead not really a Perl issue. This is documented xterm behavior, it is supposed to exit as soon as the program it has started has completed. So instead of: 
xterm -e 'perl xx.pl'

specify an extra xterm option to keep the window open after the Perl program has finished: 
xterm -hold -e 'perl xx.pl'

    I'm running a shell within the xterm. Executing the Perl script takes down both the shell & xterm. This is expected behaviour? I would think I should be returning to the shell...

      once perl exits, xterm does what xterm want
