The segfault appears to be from Encode, as you predicted from the
strace output.  i changed Locale::Gettext to Locale::gettext
(downcasing the "G"), because i think that's what you meant.  It
segfaults too.  Here's the transcript (the number before the prompt is
the return code of the previous command):

0 rtguest at clam:~$ perl -e 'use Encode'
Segmentation fault
139 rtguest at clam:~$ perl -e 'use Text::Iconv'
0 rtguest at clam:~$ perl -e 'use Text::WrapI18N; use Text::CharWidth'
0 rtguest at clam:~$ perl -e 'use Locale::gettext'
Segmentation fault
139 rtguest at clam:~$ perl -e 'use IPC::Open2'
0 rtguest at clam:~$ 

Note that this is after my switch to UTF-8 on clam, as noted in my
previous e-mail:

0 rtguest at clam:~$ printenv | grep ^LA
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=en_US:en_GB:en
0 rtguest at clam:~$ 

thanks for the help,
