I knew, but when in tested in the debugger I only saw
1000 levels deep in subroutine calls!
It seems that the debugger has a hard breakpoint at 1000 and doesn't show the normal "deep recursion" warning.
Tested with 5.32 on Win.
FWIW:
use strict;
use warnings;
our $limit =1050;
our $l=0;
sub tst {
$l++;
#warn "level: $l" unless $l%50;
die "LIMIT $limit reached" if $l>$limit;
tst();
}
tst();
in debugger
D:\tmp\pm>perl -d tst_recursion.pl

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>

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).
