Thank you, Nigel, for your patience. This result is really pretty darn
wrong, isn't it? There definitely is something broken in your perl or
libraries, as David already said. Now that we found the way out of
modules to raw perl code it will probably be best to switch the
communication to perlbug.
The idea is that you invoke the perlbug program for this perl and report
that this perl does such ugly things like what we see above. Perlbug
will then include config data of your perl and hopefully somebody will
recognize a pattern there.
In all honesty I doubt that anyone on perlbug will care that much about
5.8.8 - they'll consider it too old.
I'm sorry that I have no better news.
Thanks again,
-Nigel
