I can't remember, but I know I did have problems with Perl 5.6.

As far as I can see from my brief encounter while trying to embed Perl
in C, the Perl innards are a Seething Mess of Ugliness.  I followed
the "perlembed" manual to a tee, and yet it still segfaults
mysteriously on some systems if I try to destroy and re-create the
Perl interpreter. :-(

On Red Hat 8 and 9, and Fedora Core 1, everything seems to work nicely with
the embedded Perl interpreter.  On other platforms, for whatever reason, I've
had problems.

That may have fixed it.
