I'm guessing you are on a MMU-less system? We had tried to get perl to work on ours by a simple find and replace fork w vfork but we ran into issues. This was a few years back, but if I remember right anytime we'd pass something off to the shell it would generate a segmentation fault.
For us we were just playing around, so didn't dig too deep trying to get it running on our system.
