I don't have that problem on any of my machines (i386, alpha and
sparc).

Could you please try to upgrade perl?

The current version of perl in testing is 5.8.7-9.

I have the following on one of my machines running i386 unstable:

dpkg -l libc6 perl-base libtext-charwidth-perl
ii libc6                  2.3.5-8      GNU C Library: Shared libraries and 
Timezone data
ii libtext-charwidth-perl 0.04-3       get display widths of characters on the 
terminal
ii perl-base              5.8.7-8      The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish 
Lister

Whereas on an i386 testing, I have:

dpkg -l libc6 perl-base libtext-charwidth-perl
ii libc6                  2.3.2.ds1-22 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and 
Timezone data
ii perl-base              5.8.4-8      The Pathologically Eclectic Rubbish 
Lister
ii libtext-charwidth-perl 0.04-1       get display widths of characters on the 
terminal
