[clue] perl question

[Mike Bean]

I'm hopeful it's fixed.

We have this perl monitoring system that runs every minute in cron,
'lpar2rrd'.   The systems guys were upgrading it in the environment.
Tweaked the server and were fixing clients steadily as they went.
(I'm an app guy.)
When lpar2rrd couldn't get to its server because of the upgrade it started
core-dumping in /tmp, filled the disk, and crashed my app.
I just found out about it before the systems guys got to it.
