    Advanced HTML textarea

    Right now I've signed up with forumbee to create a simple forum for my web site. They do great. The forum is a success and there is plenty of traffic and good forumbee features.

    But I have to pay. And I can't put ads on their pages.

    I'd like to write my own forum in Perl, like the rest of the website, which should be straight-forward, but I wonder if there is some already-prepared CPAN system for HTML textareas like...

      Thanks, Jeff. You guys are right on top of things. The original post is at:

      http://bytes.com/topic/perl/answers/...-process-limit

      and I've put the offending Perl script at this web link:

      http://statmatics.com/for_bytes/

      This script runs a web site called CoinQuest, which I use to do rare coin appraisals. You can view CoinQuest here:

        30 Simultaneous Processes

        Hello:

        (I posted related thread about a month ago. New information here.)

        My ISP tells me that the Perl script I run on their server creates more than 30 processes simultaneously during peak Internet hours. How do I know? Because they shuts me down when the 30 process limit is hit. Ugh.

        When I use SSH to view my process count (ps command), I can see 4 processes when idle, which jumps to 10 immediately...

          Thanks, guys. I have asked the ISP for more info, but got nothing of substance. It might be a fluke that will not happen again. It has never happened over the past 13 years.

          The site is getting 150 visits per day, about 900 page views per day. But that's not even one script execution a minute. So I don't get it.

          This is a great forum. Thanks!

            Hi RonB -- None of those things are done. The most exotic I get is DBM hashes, flat file operations, and a call to the time() function. I don't know what backticks are, so I may be doing those and not know it. -- Unlike most of my sites, this one is actually getting traffic, about 150 visits per day. Maybe it's just the traffic load? I use flat file locks to do sharing of the DBM hashes. Hmmm. -- Paul R.

              I've Hit the Process Limit

              My first post. Thanks in advance.

              My ISP shut me down temporarily and told me in an e-mail message:

              ==========
              The problem was that you had hit your process limit with perl processes spawned from the following script:
              ~/www/cgi-bin/cq/coins
              You should check this script to make sure that it doens't spawn enough processes to tank your account again.
