I found this thread in search today so will post the two scripts I created.

# CPU consumption loop

$p = 0;   # number of processes (0 => 1 process)
$w = 20;  # amount of work per iteration (20)
$t = 0;   # sec of think time between iterations (0)

for (1..$p) {fork()} while (1) {for($x=0;$x<$w*100000;$x++){sin($x/($x
++2))} if($t){sleep($t)}}

# Memory consumption loop - defaults consume 1GB in 3 min on i7-620m

$i = 3000;   # size of increase (3000)
$t = 1;      # sec think time between increases (1)
$r = 150;    # time before reset (150)
$c = 5;      # sec before next climb starts (5)

@chars=('a'..'z','A'..'Z','0'..'9','_');
while (1) {
  for(1..int(rand($y))) {$rs.=$chars[rand @chars]}
