Perly: Revision 6

Very small "Jifty"<http://jifty.org> application which enables execution of perl code within browser. *This is a gapping security hole.* You have been warned. Source code is "in subversion"<http://svn.rot13.org/index.cgi/Perly> so feel free to checkout it and play with it.

Aside from that, it's a nice tool to learn perl on the web, without need to install anything on local machine. In fast, that's why it was written.

Features:

* upload or copy/paste code or input
* edit code using "JavaScript syntax highlighted editor"<http://codepress.org>
* run scripts from browsers and get command-line equivalent output
* resolve dependencies within code (needed to dump all files required for run)

Security holes:

* It execute any code entered by user on server. It will timeout it after 5s (configurable in config.yml)
* User can require any module installed on system (there is *FIXME* comment in code, but I'm not sure that white listing of modules would be usable).
