Yup. I installed that as root. apt-get leans on perl5.10, so /usr/bin/perl is a sym link between the two binaries (5.10 vs. 5.12) that I have to flip back and forth (apt-get vs. Apache restart). Not sure what the elegant solution is, haven't looked into resolving that nuisance.

Um, I don't think we want people intentionally running the machine out of memory. In general, nobody should be doing anything that intentionally causes the server to become unusable for everyone else.   :)

For less than $1 on your credit card you can launch servers on Amazon EC2 for experiments like that.   :)
