Segfault under Mapscript/Perl - Mapserver 4.4.0

[Aaron Craig]

I'm getting a segmentation fault when I ask for a layer's name under Perl.

The following script (make sure you've got mapscript.pm installed, copy
the text into a file, chmod 0755 the file and run it off the command
line) demonstrates the error.

I've done a fresh build/install of mapserver 4.4.0 and the perl module
in mapscript/perl inside the 4.4.0 tarball.

Any insight would be appreciated.
