That's IMHO a quite recent version.

Hmm, no idea, for me, Perl ships along with the operating system. ;-)

I guess a good start is http://www.perl.org/

It might be worth a bug report at least.

That won't help.  The -x flag is a feature of the shell, so it'll only
work in shell scripts.  Perl precompiles its scripts before
interpreting the compiled code, so it can't be traced that easily.
There's a builtin Perl debugger (perl -d), but in cases where the Perl
core itself causes an OS protection violation, i don't think that
debugger is of much help to you unless you'd try to single-step the
entire script.
