Can you post a script and your software versions? ÂI can't reproduce on my (rather ancient) system with this:

Segmentation fault

As far as I can tell this happens in general on Debian "Lenny" (x86 and amd64);
On older systems that I tried, it worked. Obviously, the problem isn't really
in my code but somewhere else.

This reminds me of this thread http://www.mail-archive.com/gtk-perl-list gnome org/msg05608.html where Gtk2::Ex::Simple::List would crash in perl 5.10 (Debian Lenny) but not in perl 5.8. What I also remember was that running the same program through the perl debuger (perl -d script.pl) wouldn't crash but running it normally (perl script.pl) would crash it.
