Hrm... did you try gdb on the binary on the CD? It should tell you the
error that cause the segfault when you run it in gdb. When was this book
published? It could easily be a glibc compatibility problem... I don't
understand why they would distribute a perl binary with it and not allow
you to use a local one anyway.
