This problem is solved by perl itself !

I know it work under perl > 5.005_3 and certainly all versions after perl 5.004.
Give me a reason to keep buggy perl versions compatibility ! People still
running version prior of 5.005_3 does not really want perl running well so
why plperl :-)

If you are not agree with my last comment, just take a look to the change log
of the perl version history and you will understand what I mean (security, memory,
etc.) ...
