Ok, if you make your OS run out of memory, then also
Apache/Perl/mod_perl/Embperl can't do much...
If you upgrade your Perl, you will get an error before all memory is
exhausted about "too deep recursion".
Anyway, a normaly application shouldn't use all (virtual) memory that you
have in your machine. (If it would do your machine goes down anyway)
To protect you against malicious application, you should limit for the data
and stacksegement. Maybe Apache::RLimit is the right module here.
