I have a peculiar problem I have not been able to figure out. I've installed the latest version of Perl (5.40) as a portable instance. The installation is on a shared NFS drive, so that a number of servers have access to it as well. It works as expected on the server where it was originally installed, but when try to run it from the other servers sharing the drive, I get a coredump error. I've tried installing and configuring the Perl instance in a variety of ways with no success. The exact wording of the error is "Illegal instruction(coredump)". I have included the config setting " -Duserelocatableinc", but still no luck.

Do you have any ideas as to what may be causing this issue?
