The plugin works fine for me. This is most probably a bug (or yet another
strange system dependent behavior of perl) in the perl plugin (as in perl.so)
but not MyPlugin.pm. Debugging the perl plugin is somewhat awkward. Can you
please generate a core dump and send in the core file, the collectd binary,
perl.so, collectd.conf, MyPlugin.pm (in case you changed anything) and the
output generated by collectd. To generate the core file, you probably have to
do something like the following:

  % ulimit -c unlimited
  % collectd -f > collectd.out 2>&1

It would be very helpful if you recompile collectd with --enable-debug, enable
the logfile plugin and configure it to write to stdout and set the debug level
to "debug".

Thanks in advance.

HTH,
Sebastian
