You either have a bug in your particular installation
of Perl, or in the OS (I tried it with the same version
of Perl, but different OS), or you aren't patient enough.
Did you by any chance run this without redirecting
standard output? Then it might take more seconds, and
if you do this remotely, and have a slow network, it
even takes more time. For me, the program gets aborted
after 5 seconds if I redirect output - but it takes 8
seconds before getting a prompt if I don't redirect output.
With a slow network, or a slow terminal, it might take minutes.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
