segmentation fault?

Does anyone know what could be a reason a perl program gives a segmentation
error each time I run it under Linux?
I have no problem with it under Windows.

It is a program that uses LWP, downloads some pages, analyse them, and save
the data into a text file.

Thank you for any idea.

This sounds like one of the libraries you're using was built for
a different version of Perl or with a different set of libraries.
If you can, do a reinstall of Perl and the affected libraries.

Alot of things can cause it. But a big one would be perl modules which
use c code, and using a module built with a differnet compiler or glibc
version.

You could try running "strace perl scriptname" and watch what is
happening just before the segfault. It will probably have something to
do with shared libraries.

Or else show us the code so we can try it.
