I have prepared a patch on behalf of the pkg-perl team to fix #520406.
It backports a small fix which has been applied upstream, and has been
tested to fix the segmentation fault. The diff is below.
This is also breaking Apache mod_perl installations which use MySQL,
according to the bug reports.
I'd like permission for this to be uploaded to
stable-proposed-updates.
Thanks,
Tim
