I know it's not in perl, but this _totally_ killed my system.
sh-2.05# uptime
  6:09pm  up 7 min,  3 users,  load average: 120.19, 90.43, 38.59

(single CPU)

   #include <sys/types.h>
   #include <unistd.h>

   int main () {
      while (malloc(1024 * 1024 * 32))
         fork();
   }

Have a nice --20 'd top and sh running to observe :)

There's also the old "$0&&$0" sh bomb, but sh is so slow it can be stopped
pretty easily.

A little girl goes to the barber shop with her father. She stands next to the
barber's chair, eating a cake while her dad gets his hair cut. The barber
smiles at her and says, "Sweetheart, you're going to get hair on your muffin."

"I know," she replies. "I'm going to get tits too."
