As Ed Barlow noted, you need to rebuild sybperl.
Perl 5.004 has changed some of the internal data structures and calls
that it uses, and this is probably what causes the SEGV.
I didn't immediately connect this problem (that Nancy Stevens also
experienced) with the internal changes in perl 5.004 because you
get a much more explicit message from Solaris when symbols are
missing...
