Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. I noticed the package your bugging is updated in Maverick. Does this occur in it? If so, please feel free to mark this bug as new. Thanks in advance!

You could look at the updates and see if any of them are relevant!

Anyway, Perl scripts shouldn't be able to cause Perl to segfault, so reassigning.

Colin: should the initial reporter test this with a supported Ubuntu version?
