You have a perl process or processes owned by root that are dying due to
segmentation violations.

Unfortunately, we don't do omniscience[*] or clairvoyance or anything
like that, so unless you give us some useful information to work with,
that's literally all we can tell you.

Start by inspecting the output of ps(1) to find likely looking perl
processes.  If you've actually got perl.core files you may be able to
investigate with a debugger and work out what is producing them, but I
wouldn't hold out too much hope of that.

	Cheers,
