Hey,

Actually I was using a perl script.

I used try {} catch {} and discovered that in a required module I was 
missing a require()
That cleared up the issue.

Why didn't receive a message saying I was missing a require() to my 
apache log and instead received a segmentation fault
I don't know why.  The script finished executing but the apache child 
died with a segmentation fault.
