You're using an outdated version of gdb and you're seeing this phony SIGSEGV because of it. There is no actual segmentation fault here, it's only an artifact of gdb. You can "continue" past it, or better, use an up-to-date version that doesn't suffer from this. This has nothing whatsoever to do with perl at all, you can trigger it with a hello-world program too.
