It's not clear why XML::Parser is segfaulting if no calls are being made to it by that code. Segfaults usually indicate serious problems with external libraries, and aren't usually thrown by (stable) versions of perl unless it invokes them. I'm afraid diagnosis of this problem requires looking at more than just the code.

One possiblity that pops to my mind is that your version of XML::Parser was compiled with a particular version of the expat C libraries, and that the version of expat installed on your system is a different one.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
