Hi,

I have seen sperl exploit for FreeBSD but not for Linux.Well, here it is.
I'm sorry if it was already posted or discovered befor.

/*    Linux sperl5.003 buffer overflow by ggajic@freenet.nether.net
             based on Aleph1's buffer overflow code
                 use it in responsible manner
           tested on slackware 3.1 and slackware 3.2         */
