mimeabuse

This module is BETA code, which means that the interfaces are fairly stable BUT it has not been out in the community long enough to guarantee much testing. Use with caution! Please report any errors back to eryq@zeegee.com as soon as you can.


Top NAME

mimeabuse - try hard to break MIME parsing


Top DESCRIPTION

This is meant to be run from the MIME-tools distribution directory as a test. It will attempt to parse the same several messages 1000 times each. It does a purge after each parse, so it shouldn't fill up your disk; however, it should be a good test for hitting resource limits.

I wrote this after I discovered that, under Perl 5.002 at least, FileHandle->new_tmpfile returned an object that did not get destructed automatically when it exited scope. :-(
