I get a segfault as well (even if I change $a and $b to $main::a and $main::b). The stack trace shows that it fails in pp_sort.c (sortcv), apparently with NULL pointers for a and b:
#0 sortcv (my_perl=0x9a4c7a0, a=0x0, b=0x0) at pp_sort.c:1591
1591 pp_sort.c: No such file or directory.
Running it under the debugger worked a few times, and then crashed with a SEGV, at the same location.
perl 5.8.3 i386-linux-thread-multi.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
