On my development server, I have two Apaches, both with this setup:

Apache/1.3.41 (Unix) mod_perl/1.30 mod_ssl/2.8.31 OpenSSL/0.9.8g

Apache A is running a HTTPS virtualhost on port 443. Apache B is trying to connect to it using NET::SSLeay. The code looks like this:

my %fields = (
    #Bunch of data goes here
);

my $form_data = make_form(%fields);

my  ($page, $response, %reply_headers) = post_https($host, $port, $scr
+ipt, $header, $form_data);

[download]

Apache B gets a segmentation fault whenever it hits the post_https.

Debugging tests and information:

  1. Taking down Apache A avoids any segmentation fault.
  2. However, when Apache A is up, the segmentation fault occurs and Apache A does not record anything in its access log.
  3. Running identical code to connect to Apache A in a command line script connects successfully and outputs the relevant data returned by Apache A.
  4. The same code runs on a production server without any problems (though not on a 100% identical Apache).

I'm not sure if this is an Apache or perl issue, but I'm hoping the wisdom here will be enough to cover both and help me figure what is stopping this post_https request and causing a segmentation fault.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance
