Yesterday I upgraded Perl to 5.00503 on a test machine and I still got the dump. Am
looking at upgrading on the
production system as soon as we can find a time slot. Here is the Perl info on the
current production system.
> Use an unthreaded Perl.
The current Perl (and the upgrade) are installed from a Solaris Package distribution.
Don't know if it's threaded or
not. I'm assuming not, since I have seen several warnings about it.
Thanks,
Bob

Upgrade Perl (but not to 5.6.0).
Use an unthreaded Perl.
Dump your output from
perl -V
to the list.
