1.  Install -> http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/PPerl/
2.  Change '#!/usr/bin/perl' to '#!/usr/bin/pperl'

Now the next time your script runs, it says in memory... Yay, no more
loading up all the modules for every mail that comes in!

    jbisbee  14671      1  /home/jbisbee/.mutt/bin/bizmail
    jbisbee  14672  14671  /home/jbisbee/.mutt/bin/bizmail
    jbisbee  14673  14671  /home/jbisbee/.mutt/bin/bizmail
    jbisbee  14674  14671  /home/jbisbee/.mutt/bin/bizmail
    jbisbee  14675  14671  /home/jbisbee/.mutt/bin/bizmail
    jbisbee  14676  14671  /home/jbisbee/.mutt/bin/bizmail

The only trick is killing the script properly to reload it.

    pperl -- -k ~/.mutt/bin/bizmail

If you don't kill it via 'pperl', you'll need to clean out the files in
the '/tmp' directory that pperl uses.
