Panic error messages are usually triggered by Perl core code. I have seen them when some piece of the interpreter (like the parser) produced an inconsistent state which the next piece (for example, the optimizer) can't handle. So it panics, instead of going further - and possibly generate a SEGV. I think the general rule is that Perl should not panic, but it does sometimes. Some panic errors are guards that were coded to avoid issues that caused SEGV, but which were not resolved yet. I think you may direct samples that caused panic to the perl5-porters where you may learn this is a known issue, when it is expected to be fixed, which are the workarounds or where this will be appropriately filed and enter the queue to be fixed when someone got the tuits to do it.
