This reduces to

        perl -e '$z ^= *z=0'

which looks almost exactly like [perl #127934].  That one used *= and
asserted, whereas this one uses ^= and segvs.  They're probably the
same bug underneath.  |= and .= also segv: the pattern seems to be that
numeric operations assert and string operations segv on handling the
string buffer.
