Verification Script -> Perl Explosion!
I recently noticed that the nph-verify.cgi starts a bunch of perl jobs via TOP, like the following:

Code:

load averages: 1.98, 1.51, 1.41 23:16:42
111 processes: 3 running, 107 sleeping, 1 zombie
CPU states: 29.3% user, 46.3% nice, 3.3% system, 0.0% interrupt, 21.1% idle
Memory: Real: 77M/104M Virt: 266M/763M Free: 104M

PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND

14731 anthrote 2 0 4996K 5996K sleep 0:01 1.09% 0.88% perl
14727 anthrote 2 0 4996K 5988K sleep 0:01 0.95% 0.78% perl


I believe this has to do with the child processes that are spawned in this script. Is this normal?

Thanks in advance.
