Segfault using HTML::Entities

Hi,

The following script causes a segmentation fault on redhat but is fine  
on OSX (see perl -V's below). I'm not sure where to start looking, so  
any advice much appreciated.

I know when you install HTML:::Entities you are asked if you want it to  
encode unicode characters. I have no idea if thats relevant, but while  
I know it was compiled with that support on the OSX box, I don't know  
if it was on the redhat box.

I apologize if this is common  knowledge - google did not enlighten me  
and I'm always confused by unicode. (And is there a searchable archive  
of this list? - the one linked at list.perl.org is down).

Thanks,

richard

#### Script

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use XML::RAI;
use HTML::Entities;

my $xml = do { local $/; <DATA> };
my $r = XML::RAI->parse( $xml );

foreach ( @{$r->items} ) {
   my $t = $_->title;
   print "$t\n";

   $t = decode_entities($t);
   print "$t\n";

   $t = encode_entities($t);
   print "$t\n";

}
