Neither do I... :-)

I need to respond to new events based on past history - multiple interpreters would not share memory or namespace unless I did lots of coding to allow that.

That's a good thought.  I'll try that. Is that going to load the file into the current namespace, or a separate one?

I don't know that I want to do that, as I am also using some modules, so I'd have to rebuild %INC every time, or only manually clear out the specific entry for my config file.
