You aren't using perlcc by any chance? (just guessing from the path name). It's deprecated and never worked properly.

In general it helps to provide the version number of the perl you run and which distribution it is (ActivePerl, Strawberry, Whatever...).

      perl 5.6.1 is ancient. Seven years is a lot of time in software land. If you can, try to upgrade to 5.8.8 or even 5.10.0.

      There were many fixes for memory handling since 5.6.1, and I wouldn't bother chasing bugs in perl that might have been resolved years ago.

      I honestly don't know if that will fix your problem, but I still consider upgrading worth the effort.
