Subject: BooK could stack overflow
The implementation of random_quote in 0.02 may recursively call itself. As there is nothing stopping that, the recursivity may go (in some exteme bad conjonction of planets, or a flawed 'rand' implementation) to the point of crashing the perl interpreter with a stack overflow. The BooK instance would die, killing his caller and all others friends object instances without giving his wisdom. -- Olivier Mengué - http://search.cpan.org/~dolmen/ http://github.com/dolmen/
