I seem to be having the same problem described in
http://www.freebsdforums.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22211, with no
system calls shown by truss.

Unfortunately, the fix of upgrading perl from 5.6 to 5.8 doesn't apply
to me: my version of Perl is already at 5.8.8, and probably was from
the moment FreeBSD was installed. I'm relatively new
at all this.  Can someone help me set things right again?

TIA,
