Not enough information for even an idea.
Does this also happen for a packed "hello world" script, e.g.

$ pp -o hello -e 'print "hello, world\n";'
$ ./hello

In any case, try to get a backtrace from the core dump, eg

$ gdb /path/to/packed/executable core-file

It may also be helpful to run the packed executable under truss and look at
its output.
Note that the packed executable does execve() early on; if the segfault
occurs *after* that, then the core dump will be for the exec'ed executable
(typically named /tmp/par-HEXNUMBER/SHA1DIGEST/foo, if your packed
executable was named "foo", but it's a different executable).
