I can't reproduce this. Can you send the output of: 'strace -f perl Makefile.pl' as well as the output of 'env' I am attaching here the files you requested. I also found out that I have two Perl binaries - "perl" and "perl5.8.3". Using 'perl5.8.3 Makefile.PL' processes the Makefile correctly Using 'perl Makefile.PL' does not What is IMHO strange is that the 'perl' binary is a copy of the 'perl5.8.3' binary and yet it behaves differently However, when running perl programs, with '/usr/bin/perl' as the location of the perl binary, perl programs work OK. For some reason 'perl' cannot process Makefile.PL's, while 'perl5.8.3' can - and they are exactly the same programs. Tried making a symbolic link called 'perl' to 'perl5.8.3' - also didn't work. output of 'env' is called env.txt ;-) output of 'perl Makefile.PL' is called badperl.txt output of 'perl5.8.3 Makefile.PL' is called goodperl.txt Created attachment 100954 [details]

The 'perl5.8.3 Makefile.PL' output

The 'perl Makefile.PL' output
Look closer at your strace of 'perl Makefile.PL' -- you have a perl in /usr/local. The Red Hat perl lives in /usr, not /usr/local, so someone has put another perl on your box and it is interfering with the Red Hat perl. Closing as NOTABUG. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8 Description of problem: After installing FC2, perl is no longer working correctly. It always reports a segmentation fault when running ANY Makefile.PL - problem persisted even after removing perl and reinstalling the RPM. Same after removing the RPM and reinstalling perl from source. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. untar any perl tarball 2. perl Makefile.PL 3. Actual Results: segmentation fault Expected Results: proper handling of the Makefile Additional info:
