## NAME

mimeabuse - try hard to break MIME parsing

## DESCRIPTION

This is meant to be run from the MIME-tools distribution directory as a test. It will attempt to parse the same several messages 1000 times each. It does a purge after each parse, so it shouldn't fill up your disk; however, it should be a good test for hitting resource limits.

I wrote this after I discovered that, under Perl 5.002 at least, FileHandle->new_tmpfile returned an object that did not get destructed automatically when it exited scope. :-(
