Pasting into even The Simplest Imaginable Perl Program:
  perl -e '$s=<>'
likewise instantly crashes the kernel:
  BUG: scheduling while atomic: /swapper/0/0x10010000
and power-off is the only option :-(  Likewise with
  perl -e '@s=<>'
and
  perl -e '$s=<STDIN>'
and all other variations, like
  #!/usr/bin/perl
  @s=<>;
and therefore likewise with my edpager:
  http://www.pjb.com.au/blin/free/edpager
in fact it's hard to imagine any Perl script working at all.

(Pasting from gpm, OTOH, works just fine into all these things.)

Considering debian squeeze is supposed to be "stable",
this seems highly release-critical...  Has it been logged with
  http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?package=espeakup
?
