can't reproduce on ~amd64 with perl-5.8.8. what's your output for `echo 'use 5.006001; print "OK"' | perl` ?
(In reply to comment #1) > what's your output for `echo 'use 5.006001; print "OK"' | perl` ? It prints 'OK'
still can't reproduce on two ~amd64 boxes and one x86 box..
Ok, pretty bizarre... I tested on an (mostly) amd64 box, and it didn't have any issues.
Can't reproduce this in a "modern" enviroment. Close?

Since nginx-0.6.1 is pretty old, closing this as INVALID. Feel free to re-open if it still happens with modern versions of nginx (e.g. 0.7.6x) and perl.
