Hi Everyone, I upgraded my UBUNTU 14.04 VERSION TO 16.04 version. It some how screwed my perl. If I run this code, it works fine: 

#!/usr/bin/perl-w
use strict;
use warnings;

my $a = "string";
print $a,"\n";

[download]
BUT when i try to run the above code with a CPAn module like Data::Dumper , it gives me segmentation error(core dumped) so something like this 

#!/usr/bin/perl-w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

my $a = "string";
print $a,"\n";

[download]
Output

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Same happens with bioperl modules. What is the way to fix it?? Any help would be appreciated. I want to use Data::Dumper for outputting complex data structure but then it is always throwing Segmentation error. My files are not big at all.

UPDATE

So I can run perl scripts with cpan modules like Data::Dumper with sudo in front of perl sudo perl script.pl and this works

Can you guys tell what can be the issue now??

Regards Varun
