Yes, the program runs on, it is not really a crash (the program
doesn't stop), you could attach the perl process with gdb while it is
running or write a little script which triggers the fault and then run
the script through gdb:
$ gdb -nw perl.exe

(gdb) run script.pl
Starting program: /bin/perl.exe script.pl

Program exited normally.
(gdb) 

and see what is reported when it hangs.
