This can happen, when a script uses a broken perl extension module.
It's not necessarily perl's fault. Try to identify the script that
triggers those coredumps, then look at the extension modules used
by that script. You may then want to recompile (an updated version of)
the extension module, so that it matches the version of your current
perl installation.

Good luck.
