Re: Perl 5.22 no longer works

I'm running -current as it is a good tool to learn how to fix things. I've done pretty well until this problem. Usually logs, error messages, etc. point me to a solution but when I get no more info than perl seg faulted it is a bit baffling. I've fixed a lot of things that didn't like gcc-5.2.

Problem resolved. Running gdb showed that some files from /usr/local were in play for some reason. Delete all things perl from there, uninstalled perl, rebuilt and installed. Everything works now. Thank you everyone who commented. Your referring me to strace and gdb cracked it for this newbie.	[reply]
