This actually is a known problem and as I understand it a bug in perl
5.8.0. However, there is an easy workaround:

In your parser module is a regular expression which contains a ``negated
character class'' that looks like this: ``[^\s\?]''. In Common.pm the
line looks like this:
--zipp--
if ($request =3D~ m#(\S+) ([^\s\?]+)\??(\S*)#)
--zapp--

All you have to do is change the ``\s'' into a normal whitespace `` ''.
The line then looks like this (for copy'n'paste reasons ;):
--zipp--
if ($request =3D~ m#(\S+) ([^ \?]+)\??(\S*)#)
--zapp--

I have absolutely no idea as to why perl 5.8 is doing this and which
versions of perl 5.8 are affected. If anyone knows any details I'd
appreciate any hints, since I couldn't find anything related in the perl
buglist..

I wanted to have the workaround included in the new version of yaala
which I am working on ATM, but there are some hard changes that are
slowing things down. I guess I'll release a ``fixed'' version of yaala
later today..

Hope that helps. If not, please tell me! :)
Regards
