All of what Fletch said is good advice.

Don't try to make the problem "go away" with changes like adding log4perl.

If you manage to make it "go away" temporarily, you may never be able to recreate it under your control in order to diagnose the issue.

This is a symptom of a real problem somewhere either in your code, in perl, or in a module you're using, and think of this as your only chance to track it down before it breaks at 2am someday and you get paged :)

Take a look at the contents of %INC and @INC before your code dies. Any chance you're picking up a module built for a different perl version or slightly different platform?
