Disabling PerlScript isn't as easy as it should be... until now.

Simply hit the "d/l code" link below, save that to a file called something like "PerlScript.htm", verify your browser didn't mess it up too much, then view the saved file in IE and you should get an indication that PerlScript has been disabled. You can verify that it worked by reloading the page and seeing that only the first and last lines of text appear.

in thread use PerlScript && die; by $code or die

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
