Heh, congratulations, you've managed to come up with the same damn problem I came up with thinking about this last night. The best solution I can think of, at the moment, is to require some sort of authentication with the server, so you have to create an account, and do some sort of process limit at the user level.

The script in question isn't going to be a CGI, it's going to be a dedicated perl script that runs the untrusted perl code. Mostly.

The only trick there of course, is to prevent one "user" from have a large number of accounts, which I confess, I'm a tad stumped..
