That would still be useful in perl (Score:2)

I think you're claiming that terminator wouldn't be of use in perl programming because of some obscure edge cases.

In production code where I'd want to use something like this I work to minimise such edge cases (which simplifies maintainence and debugging), and would rather have to look through false alarms and check them than not have any help with a halting bug or infinite loop.
