Including the DateTime module in a Perl script makes perl segfault immediately:

$ perl -e 'use DateTime;'
[1] 3866 segmentation fault (core dumped) perl -e 'use DateTime;'

Installed package versions:

testing/perl 5.22.0-1
community-testing/perl-datetime 1.19-1
This task depends upon

No problem here. You probably have something installed from either the AUR or cpan that DateTime uses (or DateTime itself).

perl-datetime itself and its direct dependencies were all installed from the official repos, but just in case I went and removed all perl-* packages that I had installed from AUR, and you're right: that fixed it.

Sorry for the noise.

No problem, you just need to figure out which of those packages needs rebuilt on perl upgrades and you'll be in good shape.
