Short Description
server crashes during plperl execution

Long Description
Hi,

I am using postgresql 7.3.2.

When i execute a simple plperl procedure, the server is crashed. What could be the reason? FYI, i have included the
perlcode and the server log. 

regards,
bhuvaneswaran

Sample Code
create or replace function perl_test (text, text)
returns int as '

  my ($A1, $A2) = @_;
  print "Argument 1 :$A1:\n";
  print "Argument 2 :$A2:\n";
  return 1;
'
language 'plperl';

test=# SELECT version();
                           version
-------------------------------------------------------------
 PostgreSQL 7.3.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96
(1 row)

test=# SELECT perl_test('a1', 'a2');
server closed the connection unexpectedly
        This probably means the server terminated abnormally
        before or while processing the request.
The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Succeeded.
