in reply to 10.0 panic:

That would be the result of a bug in Perl itself or a bug in an XS module. (Specifically what, I don't know, but I could try to find out.) Do you get the error with 5.10.1 or better yet 5.12.1?

Using a debug build and gdb should help you determine which scalar is problematic. valgrind should also be useful with this kind of problem.
