  So this only happens when you load an XS module or run a script that
  uses one?  This sounds to me like a binary incompatibility problem.
  Such as Apache, mod_perl, and Perl itself were compiled under one
  compiler and your XS modules under another ( or just a different 
  version ). 

  Unless the version that Oracle gave you gives you some special
  features, I would recommend recompiling Apache, mod_perl, perl, 
  and your XS modules with the compiler on your server.
