Okay, according to the Perl website, you're running Perl 5.8.0 
Pre-Release. Go bleeding edge, nice one Redhat!

http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/index.html#linux

This would probably have quite a few known bugs and possibly memory leaks.
I recommend that you update your version of Perl, to 5.8.7 which is the 
latest stable version (anything above that is experimental).  Or you 
could downgrade to a trusty version of Perl 5.6.x

Cheers
rob.
