NAME

App::EvalServer::Child - Evaluate code in a safe child process

SYNOPSIS

 # fork, etc

 use App::EvalServer::Child;
 App::EvalServer::Child::run(
     $tempdir, $pipe_name, $jail, $user, $limit, $lang, $code, $unsafe,
 );

DESCRIPTION

This module takes various safety precautions, then executes the code you provided.

FUNCTIONS

run

Runs the code. Takes the following arguments: a temporary directory, a pipe name, a jail path, a username, a process limit (in megabytes), a language suffix (e.g. 'Perl' for App::EvalServer::Language::Perl), the code, and an unsafe flag. If the unsafe flag is on, run will not take safety precautions (change user, chroot, set resource limits) which require root access.
