Hello again,
I have remembered I was using an "old" version of Perl, the first release of the
5.8.x branch : 5.8.0. I know by experience that using in production environment
the very first releases of such new versions is not a good idea, and it seems
I'm right. I have installed the lastest release : 5.8.8 and it seems to solve
my problem ! Of course I need to make further tests, I'll post later to
confirm.
