perl crash

[bustthis]

last night, perl seemed to crash and i am trying to make sense of it. i followed your old article on installing amavisd-new (20030616) – clamav (0.75) – spamassassin (2.6.4) and everything has been running smoothly for 6 months. two days ago i decided to install the clamav webmin module and it said it required Date::Manip… so i first tried to install the perl module through webmin with no success, i then forced installed the module with cpan, the make test returned some errors without force install. not sure if this is related to the crash, but it’s the only thing i’ve changed in the last couple of months.

i first noticed in mail.log:

Sep 2 05:40:48 server postfix/smtp[29526]: CCF9255C46: to=<[email protected]>, relay=127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1], delay=3, status=deferred (lost connection with 127.0.0.1[127.0.0.1] while sending end of data — message may be sent more than once)

then in console.log:

Sep 2 01:40:48 server crashdump: Unable to determine CPSProcessSerNum pid: 25438 name: perl

Sep 2 01:40:48 server crashdump: Finished writing crash report to: /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/perl.crash.log

portion of perl.crash.log:

can someone please tell me whats up? i’m not sure what crashed here or the cause of it and i would like to know if i should uninstall Date::Manip?

thanks in advance,
charles
