[ID 20001029.008] perl binary segfaults on following code
Message ID:
200010300712.CAA01125@smackdown.pinpoint.com

This is a bug report for perl from hansen@smackdown.pinpoint.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.

the following code crashes my perl with a segfault
--------------------------------------------------
(file: foo.pl)
#!/usr/bin/perl
use foo;
---------------------------------------------------

---------------------------------------------------
(file: foo.pm)
sub foo
{
    sub ( $Self ) = @_;
    my $Filename = "$Self->{'Name'} $Self->{'Folder'}";
}
---------------------------------------------------

the obvious bug here is the typo of 'my' with 'sub'.. I fixed this and it 
stopped segfaulting, but it seems like it's probably still a bug..

The backtrace from the non-debug binary is:
#0  0x807741e in Perl_pad_free ()
#1  0x80777c7 in S_op_clear ()
#2  0x8077644 in Perl_op_free ()
#3  0x807760b in Perl_op_free ()
#4  0x807760b in Perl_op_free ()
#5  0x807e4ef in Perl_newATTRSUB ()
#6  0x8075287 in Perl_yyparse ()
#7  0x80bbe8a in S_doeval ()
#8  0x80bd2de in Perl_pp_require ()
#9  0x8096a60 in Perl_runops_standard ()
#10 0x805c378 in S_call_body ()
#11 0x805c11f in Perl_call_sv ()
#12 0x805ec99 in S_call_list_body ()
#13 0x805e967 in Perl_call_list ()
#14 0x807ea59 in Perl_newATTRSUB ()
#15 0x807b7a4 in Perl_utilize ()
#16 0x80753f8 in Perl_yyparse ()
#17 0x805b5b6 in S_parse_body ()
#18 0x805abc7 in perl_parse ()
#19 0x8058f7d in main ()

I don't know if that's helpful at all or not.. 

I'm curious as to just what the bug process is for PERL, I'm a professional 
C/C++ developer and would love to get a hand in on this in some (small) way,
unless I'd just be mucking things up.  

I'm not sure my e-mail got set up properly.. it's just hansen@pinpoint.com, not hansen@smackdown.pinpoint.com (my machine), so please, any response, send to hansen@pinpoint.com. 

Thank you (whoever may be reading this),
