It sounds like an overflow error.  I suggest trying it with the
perl debugger, e.g.

    perl -d wwwstat

and then

    continue

to start the program.  See the perl man page or www.perl.com for
more info on the debugger commands.  It should stop on the Floating
Exception and then you can find out what causes it.
