[ID 20000223.002] Perl core dump

This is a bug report for perl from gianluca@parkinson.it,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.26 running under perl 5.00502.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

I get messages from the kernel reporting core dumps on perl process id. I get 
many messagges, so I assume it is related to some cron job whose perl script 
call some obscure perl function.

The problem begun after updating Bundle::CPAN, I guess.
