I can't figure what the problem is here. I'm using this bit of code: P> 
 print STDERR "Now ready to insert new selections: ";
             {       
                   foreach  (@keywords){
                   if (/group\_|field\_/) {
                        print STDERR $_;      
                        reset;
                        print STDERR "Regex reset\n";
   /(.*)\_(\d*)/;

which results in:

Now ready to insert new selections: group_1[Mon May  7 19:27:08 2001] 
+[notice] child pid 5876 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

If I comment out the reset, the program runs fine (apart from the few cases where the next regex fails to match and I get garbage being passed). This piece of code is in multiple complicated whiles and fors with lexical variables all over the the place.

Am I doing something obviously wrong, or is this just a weird thing that happens sometimes?

Running under the version of perl listed below, Apache+mod_perl.

perl5 (5.0 patchlevel 5 subversion 3)

Thanks in advance,
