Well, this only would make sense in cases, when scripts triggering a segfault and all script (sub-) modules being used are part of the distro. However, due to the nature of interpreters, in many cases, such scripts are not part of the distro. How do the ABRT authors intend to handle this for other interpreted languages, such as sh, python or tcl? > The another question is whether these segfaults are helpful. Well, ABRT reports like e.g. this one: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=560421 are not useful. [As I read this BZ, a user's perl script triggered a segfault in perl and ABRT sent a BZ against perl.] > If anyone has any ideas how could be abrt reports improved for > perl bug reports, do not hesitate to contact guys from upstream project. > https://fedorahosted.org/abrt/ Well, this "plea for help" to me is yet another indication that ABRT has been prematurely made part of the distro. I feel it's not ready, nor do I feel the concepts behind it have proven they work. My recommendation to users: yum remove abrt Ralf -- Fedora Extras Perl SIG http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/SIGs/Perl perl-devel mailing list perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/perl-devel
