Hope you had a great New Year!

I have been working on a perl application for a number of years, most recently under perl 5.8 Yesterday I installed a new Ubuntu system on my laptop which came with perl 5.10.

Now I experience that the debugger core dumps when it invokes Storable. When the application is run without the debugger (this is a CGI script) everything works fine, but in effect, working under the debugger is now impossible.

The debugger also core dumps in other situations, such as when it is trying to write a file that is write protected (which did not cause this error before).

I wonder if anybody could point me to how to solve or work around this problem. Do you experience the same problem with debugging under perl 5.10? Or could the problem be with the ubuntu installation?

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.

Cheers, D.
