I don't think that $path/$name is corrupt ...
$path/$name is your storable file, I'm saying maybe its contents are corrupt.
As for the "umm, yeah, whatever" comment: Some ...
I'm not an avid c programmer either, but that's besides the point. The last thing I want to do is touch C code, especially someone elses C code, especially since I might not have to. You're using an old perl with an old storable and you're having a segfault. You should try upgrading before you even think about debugging the C code in the background. s~umm, yeah, whatever~can't help you there~
Also, is it at all noteworthy that this is happening in perl_destruct, or is that rather inconsequential to the issue?...
Heh :) Did you try to upgrade (how about trying out those combinations I mentioned and see if something breaks -- you could even try upgrading perl)? Does it segfault before or after your program has done all it has to do? If its after, I say forget about it.

PS - And then it's three AM and I'm on the corner, wearing my leather, This dude comes up and he's, like, "Hey, punk", I'm, like, "Yeah, whatever".

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
