From what I know a segmentation fault is an error caused by the operating system or a program that tries to read/write to memory that it's not supposed to. It is possible that the perl program is using too much memory and causing the error. My guess would be that the array you are building is growing too big.

brk(2) System Calls Manual brk(2)
Name
brk, sbrk - change data segment space allocation
Syntax
#include <sys/types.h>
char *brk(addr)
char *addr;
char *sbrk(incr)
int incr;
Description
The system call sets the system's idea of the lowest data segment location not used by the program (called the break) to addr (rounded up
to the next multiple of the system's page size). Locations greater than addr and below the stack pointer are not in the address space and
thus will cause a memory violation if accessed.
In the alternate function incr more bytes are added to the program's data space and a pointer to the start of the new area is returned.
When a program begins execution by the break is set at the highest location defined by the program and data storage areas. Ordinarily,
therefore, only programs with growing data areas need to use
The system call may be used to determine the maximum permissible size of the data segment; it will not be possible to set the break beyond
the rlim_max value returned from a call to For example:
0x10000000 + rlp -> rlim_max
Return Values
Upon successful completion, the system call returns a value of 0 or -1 if the program requests more memory than the system limit. The sys-
tem call returns -1 if the break could not be set.
Restrictions
Setting the break may fail due to a temporary lack of swap space. It is not possible to distinguish this from a failure caused by exceed-
ing the maximum size of the data segment without consulting
Diagnostics
The system call fails and no additionally memory is allocated if one of the following is true:
[ENOMEM] The limit, as set by was exceeded.
[ENOMEM] The maximum possible size a data segment (compiled into the system) was exceeded.
[ENOMEM] Insufficient space existed in the swap area to support the expansion.
