Because Nick Ing-Simmons didn't have the tuits to implement it:

    http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2002/06/msg60897.html

It is not clear to me why you need to implement it using
pseudo-fork; it should be possible to do it using do_aspawn().

Paul Fenwick wanted to look into this, but I'm not sure he got
around to it either:

    http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2007/07/msg126377.html
