I think this is related to the fact that Redhat 7 broke the Errno
module for Perl-5.6.0. The following patch is supposed to fix the
problem:
ftp://ftp.linux.activestate.com/pub/staff/gsar/APC/5.7.1/diffs/7565.gz
Perl-5.6.1-TRIAL1 comes with this patch applied, so you might want to
try an upgrade of perl itself. Or perhaps downgrade your RedHat...
