Try changing the "1m" to "60", my ddclient gives a warning when I use "1m", although it isn't eating CPU. If that doesn't help, try using strace or ltrace, these may indicate what type of loop it's stuck in. e.g. strace -p 1234 or ltrace -p 1234 where 1234 is the process ID of ddclient (perl) when you're running strace, it should sit and wait with a message like: nanosleep({60, 0}, if it's working right.
