LARRY WALL'S "PERL" ON A/UX

I've been trying unsuccessfully to get Larry Wall's "perl" program
to run on A/UX (I need it to run his Configure generator).
Perl 2.0 compiles without incident. However, when you run it on a
script--ANY script--it crashes with a Memory Fault error (-117) and
a core dump. Changing various compile flags and/or kernel parameters
doesn't help, nor does using the "BIG" compiler option. (In fact,
perl compiled under the -B /usr/lib/big/ option *REALLY* crashes
the machine; it panics with an interrupt stack overflow!)
Btw, the machine is a 8-meg Mac II running nfs & yp; vanilla, generally.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thx.
