While working on my counter.pl I suddenly find myself unable to 
connect.."blocking operation in progress". I must assume I made an error 
creating a runaway script...so what can I do about it? how can it be 
prevented?

here is the current version which I cant upload.

$currdoc = $ENV{"SCRIPT_NAME"};

if (length $currdoc < 4 ) {
	$currdoc = "SCRIPT_NAME FAILURE";
}

while (length $currdoc < 25){
	$currdoc = $currdoc + "\&nbsp\;";
	print "($currdoc)\n";
	if (length $currdoc > 60 ) {
		$currdoc = "SCRIPT_NAME FAILURE";
		print "\n\n($currdoc)\n";
		exit;
	}
}
