mod_perl2 + MIME::Lite + segmentation fault (11)

[Bruno Lavoie <br...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I dont know if its the good place but I try. I'm using from a while the 
MIME::Lite module to send mail via my perl scripts, perl cgi under modperl2 
on perlrun mode.

yesterday a found in my apache error log file a lot of line like this: 
[Tue Apr 19 16:38:33 2005] [notice] child pid 2220 exit signal Segmentation 
fault (11)

after investigations: restarting apache, checking problematic 
scripts........ etc. we found that only one line can make this segmentation 
fault:

use MIME::Lite;

when I comment it out, no segmentation fault! why? is it mod_perl? the 
module? I suspect the module because I use other modules and: no problems!

Here is my configuration details:
Debian 3.0 Sarge (Testing)
libapache2-mod-perl2 1.999.21-1
perl 5.8.4-8
apache2 2.0.53-5

any ideas or suggestions?
thanks
Bruno

I did a simple test and it works fine, but than you report lacks too many 
details to be able to reproduce the setup and the problem. Bruno, please 
submit a new proper problem report as explained here:
http://perl.apache.org/bugs/ and don't forget a test script and the 
backtrace of the segmentations fault. Thanks.
