I run a small ISP, I like Embperl, but I am reluctant to let just any user use it.
A script such as the following can make the httpd child go very high in
MEMORY and CPU usage. Even after the request is terminated from the
client, the server keeps on chugging away.
This example uses:
Embperl 1.2b7
Apache/1.3.6
mod_perl/1.21
Solaris 2.7
<h1>Embperl Examples - Crash Apache Child</h1>
[- %h = qw(1 a 2 b 3 c 4 d 5 e 6 f 7 g 8 h 9 i 10 j); -]
<table>
[$ foreach $Row (keys(%h)) $]
<tr>
<td>[+ $Row +]</td>
<td>[+ $h{$Row} +]</td>
[- $row = $Row -]
</tr>
[$endforeach$]
</table>
