No, I've not. In fact, I just tried it with both perl 5.005_03 and perl 5.6.1 on sun4-solaris, and could get no segfault:
<bioserv 117 [15:14] ~ >perl -e 'chop $x'
<bioserv 118 [15:14] ~ >perl -e 'chop FOO'
Can't modify constant item in chop at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
<bioserv 119 [15:14] ~ >perl -e 'chop "BAR"'
Can't modify constant item in chop at -e line 1, at EOF
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
<bioserv 120 [15:14] ~ >perl -v
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris
(Similar results for 5.6.1 dropped)
Of course, I didn't have access to your program which segfaults perl. It could be helpful to give a minimal example which fails (= something I can try to run on my machine), as well as the output of "perl -V".

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
