Oh, I only tested this on etch systems where the Locale is LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968), but I don't really think that the way to reproduce the bug is to change the Locale...

Scalar::Util requires List::Util which loads the XS. The first two of these are coming from /usr/local, and the last from the perl package which is not compatible... not quite sure why that is. Is there a Util.so under your /usr/local ? To fix your problem it may be possible to re-install your local copy, alternately just remove /usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8/{Scalar,List}/Util.pm --bod
