[MacPerl] Intentional Infinite Loops

["David J. Iberri" <diberri@ucla.edu>]

How safe/unsafe is it to have a script running in an infinite loop in the
background? How significantly will it affect my performance if it's only
something like the following?

while(1) {
    ... # some absurd (but curiously magical) code
    last if $finished;
}

Thanks,

David
