Wow, that's neat.

I really think the underlying issue should be fixed, but
I'll use what you created.  Thanks a lot.

If the underlying problem can't be solved, I think that
would be a good addition to examples/simplelist.pl

I felt the effects of last night too, but a half hour walk
this AM cleared that up.
