Many projects I've been writing lately have included the ability to use Javascript via JavaScript::V8. It is cheap and it is blazingly fast and if you are a web shop then you most likely have a team that already speaks Javascript.

I'd like to use perl as an embeded language inside of perl, but I have yet to see a safe (Safe.pm) locked down environment. Javascript isn't perfect as they could still consume all memory, or write an infinite loop, but there is no danger of it having access to more than I give it.

my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];

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.


No such thing as a small change
