A funtional mod-perl code installed on a new apple server spits out these odd critical errors after a couple of successful runs:

[Tue Feb 16 03:31:08 2010] [error] [client XX.XXX.XXXX.XX] panic: memory wrap at /Library/Perl/Updates/5.10.0/AutoLoader.pm line 90.
I've tracked it down to the cpan module Storable causing the error. Its the current version of Storable and it is supposed to be solid. Same apache setup, and same setup as other working servers. (stable versions and worker MPM)

Restarting apache wont help restore the memory. But rebooting the server is more effective. Apache comes up normal and it progress for some time before it get stuck again.
After turning it around, my only conclusion is that perl itself is hitting the roof. but its very light data and Storable just compress and simply store it to a file which makes no sense to me.

Seen it before? ideas how to proceed?
tx for your time.
