hi guys. after some trouble, i ve managed to install through cpan the Device::USB module. However, i ve come up with a problem that google couldnt help me with. My code is this:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use Device::USB;

$usb = Device::USB->new();
print "1\n";
[download]

and the outcome is this:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[download]

my perl -d:Trace give me this:

>> (eval 7)[/usr/local/share/perl5/Inline.pm:199]:4:     $INIT++;
>> (eval 7)[/usr/local/share/perl5/Inline.pm:199]:5:     &init;
>> /usr/local/share/perl5/Inline.pm:209:     local ($/, $") = ("\n", '
+ '); local ($\, $,);
>> /usr/local/share/perl5/Inline.pm:209:     local ($/, $") = ("\n", '
+ '); local ($\, $,);
>> /usr/local/share/perl5/Inline.pm:211:     while (my $o = shift(@DAT
+A_OBJS)) {
>> main.pl:7: $usb = Device::USB->new();
>> /root/perl5/lib/perl5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Device/USB.pm:187:   
+  my $class = shift;
>> /root/perl5/lib/perl5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Device/USB.pm:189:   
+  $init_ref->();
>> /root/perl5/lib/perl5/i386-linux-thread-multi/Device/USB.pm:175:   
+  libusb_init();
[download]

i honestly don't know what's wrong, i can't figure it out, i don't have the slightest clue. libusb1.0 and devel are installed and when the program misses the line:

$usb = Device::USB->new();
[download]

gives "1" as an outcome. Any help would be appreciated. Or some guide that could give me some guidance...

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
