Perl running C code
Ok, I am thinking about developing a small little web app to help teach C to people. So you can type some C code into a text area, then a CGI Perl script or something similar would compile the code, then possibly execute it showing the results in another text area.

My concern of course is malicious code. Is there anything that I can do protect my PC from someone coding in some evil kill all C code? Or is that a risk I take. Because if it is, I can't do it. I'm not that crazy. Smilie

Thanks.

that is a risk you will have to take. it is always possible. if its run in a chrooted environment, the web server as well, and you make sure you permissions are alright... then you will be a little bit safer. its not a bad idea though.
