Problems may be too much of a subjective term. Some people may see how a feature of tool or product operates as problematic to them, others may disagree. Bugs on the other hand are features when don't behave as they're supposed to. Almost every tool I can think of suffers from bugs, tools which are cross platform have greater potential scope to run into problems (often caused by problems with the underlying OS/tool chain).

Bugs relating to core Perl can be found at https://rt.perl.org/perlbug/, the overview may be a better place to look to get a breakdown of the number of bugs. CPAN also provides an issue tracker for each module.

It's worth pointing out that Perl ships as standard with many operating systems (Linux, UNIX, Mac OSX) and also with "enterprise grade" products such as Oracle.

The good news is that bugs are addressed. Releases detail what changes are made, for example perl5125delta.

If this doesn't address your question please elaborate.
