I have only two suggestions:

1) please don't top post on this list

2) run gdb and see what causes perl to (not) coredump

But I cannot help wonder if the perl crash on activeperl is intentional.
Have you tried other ports? Native linux does not dump.
Why would it? Dumping any interpreter sounds like a pretty
stupid plan.

Your brother might at this very moment be logging a bug against
activeperl for that particular behaviour.

The only good approach I can think of is to re-define the backticks to
explicitely dump. That is straightforward and possibly even portable.
