This is the issue I asked about on -hackers last month, and which I finally tracked down yesterday to a bug in Safe.pm 2.20. Tim Bunce has since fixed it. Report here:

http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=72068

In the short run, you can downgrade to Safe.pm 2.19 and the problem will go away. Or just use PL/Perlu, which doesn't rely on Safe.pm.

Best,

David
