in reply to perl -MCPAN -e shell ==> Segmentation fault

How should i do ?
Find out what version of Cwd.pm is trying to get loaded,
Report the bug to your vendor so they install a working Cwd.pm , say one from PathTools
Install a working Cwd from PathTools yourself
Install a new perl in your homedir (or usr/local whatever), a version from this decade that is supported by perl5porters

      # perl Makefile.PL

      Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x12f1ba60 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/File/Path.pm line 6.

      Checking if your kit is complete...

      Segmentation fault

        /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/File/Path.pm line 6.

        I'll assume local/lib... isn't your vendor perl

        So the way to resolve this issue is to rm -rf /usr/local/lib/perl5 and recompile/reinstall perl anew

        OTOH, you might want to dump your perl -V maybe you have something weird in there (unlikely)
