Mailing List Archive: very easy to segfault embperl

Hi.

I was trying to test something else when I discovered this script is
enough to segfault embperl:

use strict;
use Embperl;

my $output1;

my $input = "";

Embperl::Execute({
inputfile => "blah",
input => \$input,
output => $output1,
});

The mistake is that I'm providing $output1 and not \$output1, but a
segfault seems like quite a harsh punishment!

Hi,

I ran accross this issue (with the path parameter) some days before on my own. I will fix it, so a error message is generated instead of a seg fault
