Hmm let me think. It's in eval, so simple errors like m or die won't do anything. exit will quit. But dump is before exit. Is there anything earlier? Let me look at the keyword list at ode getprotobyname generator... Hmm, maybe the disaster you have expected was a fork bomb... I think eval"redo" isn't an infinite loop, but I try it in the console to be sure. Hmm. It is an infinite loop the way your code is now, because it jumps to the beginning of the while loop and the $s++ gets skipped. Let me think that dump thing over. I think they're planning to remove that keyword so it can only be called as CORE::dump. I look it up in the manual... Try it in the console... So it warns only for now. Ok, there's nothing more I can think of, so my prediction is that it will dump core. Update: Ok, let me think this over again after reading the other replies.
