Hi there I was referred to this post which states this is actually a bug in PERL 5.12 https://rt.perl.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=76138 That seems to match your problem. Consider upgrading to a newer version of RHEL that uses a newer version of perl, or ditch the perl provided by RedHat and compile your own perl. (RH perl should be in /usr/bin/perl, so compile your own perl to /usr/local/bin/perl and change the #! line in your scripts.) You may also try a forced installation of a newer perl version on the current RHEL version. And please note: `Perl` is the language, `perl` is the implementation, and `PERL` is just wrong.
