Confirmed. I had it on two different boxes today.
First was last synchronized yesterday.
Second about 3 weeks ago.

On the first box the update consisted of perl packages bash and something else. At first I thought it's nothing special but I tried to carefully upgrade my second box.
I upgraded everything manually (one by one) and left only new perl packages to upgrade all at once (as last pacman -Su). Then I experienced the segfault (last package to upgrade was perl-uri).
I'm 90% sure it's connected with the changed names of perl modules packages. Everything is updated and after removing pacman lock from /tmp I can run it fine. Only no sign of the last upgrade of perl packages in /var/log/pacman.log (segfault before write?). I could also reinstall perl-uri with pacman -S perl-uri without any problem, so I think to reproduce this segfault you have to get old some old perl module package and then try to upgrade it to nee perl-...
