in reply to How many different ways can Perl code fail?
Other ways code can fail, for various definitions of failure:
- It could loop infinitely, never returning.
- It could run out of memory and get killed by the OS.
- It could crash your operating system.
- It could call exit() or more powerfully POSIX::exit().
- It could seg-fault and dump core, for example by calling CORE::dump() or by hitting a bug in Perl.
