You have a perl process or processes owned by root that are dying due to segmentation violations. Unfortunately, we don't do omniscience[*] or clairvoyance or anything like that, so unless you give us some useful information to work with, that's literally all we can tell you. Start by inspecting the output of ps(1) to find likely looking perl processes. If you've actually got perl.core files you may be able to investigate with a debugger and work out what is producing them, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope of that. Cheers, Matthew [*] well, only occasionally. - -- Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate JID: matthew@infracaninophile.co.uk Kent, CT11 9PW -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkwY3SsACgkQ8Mjk52CukIzh+gCdHneBlv1k8N786nVsLlFc7jU4 W8IAn2iOOZZvr0GHvj/Iclp2qolaKnvj =AL0s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
