That's an error from Scalar::Util, I believe.  You might try upgrading it 
from CPAN.  You'll get that error if the XS version hasn't been installed. 
Also, that version of perl is a bit old -- that might also be contributing, 
as there were some weak reference patches to fix little things since 5.8.0.
