DCPM: Am I the bug?

I have an application here comprising eight modules and about twenty 
utility scripts.

If I run it on perl 5.6.1 all is well.  However, if I run it under 
5.8.0 various scripts cause a segfault.

I can stop this happening by commenting out and `use lib '...'; ' 
lines; but of course I sometimes need that lib!

Same rules apply if I unshift dirs onto @INC.

There appears to be no pattern by which to determine which are likely 
to fail.

To clarify: if I try to `use' a module which is locally installed (i.e. 
in ~/lib), perl will segfault in some instances but not others, the 
requirement and environment being the same.

I suspect that this is a bug in the .0 release that I have missed.  Has 
anyone seen this before?  How did you fix it?
