Here's a chance to show off your extensive knowledge of perl arcana and your vast experience debugging barbarous code. The task for this hole is simply to segfault the latest stable version of Perl (v5.6.1) in the fewest number of characters, given the following rules:
- Your code must segfault at least one platform.
- There's a two stroke penalty for every platform that doesn't segfault.
- NO -u or dump
permitted.
- NO fork bombs or other resource-depleting methods.
- Use of any feature marked "experimental" in the perl docs gets a 5 stroke handicap. Sorry, japhy ;)
Bring the pain!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
