These will die when they use up all the ram and crash the server :-(

push @a,1 while 1;

# this is worse as it is geometric rather than linear
@a = qw(1);
for(;;) {push @a,@a}

These are examples of dangerous infinite loops because with each iteration they consume resources. In practice you are unlikely to strike this. By accident anyway.
