If perl ever crashes (which I find happens quite rarely; perhaps 5 times in
my 5 years working with the language), I always:

a) Reproduce the bug
b) Reduce it to a simple test case through trial and error. Typically a few
   lines of code.
c) Send it in to the perl maintainers.

It's always been fixed fairly promptly.
