It seems that vim was build against the perl in testing. I didn't had time yet to confirm (I use testing repo) that it's the cause of the problem or whether vi, gvim or the x86_64 packages are also affected. As no one else complained yet, it might be a problem specific to that user.
This task depends upon

After checking it, vim works fine on i686 with the perl in core.

I know, I wonder what setup the original user had, it might have to do with vim plugins that use perl scripting abilities. Are there such?

I don't know but the file that gives the error is part of perl. Perhaps he's using an half-updated system.

My System is an up2date core system.
I rebuild vi/vim/gvim from abs, and it works fine.
Before rebuilding i found out, that the problem is my ~/.vim folder with some scripts.
After rebuilding it works with my .vim folder

scripts i use:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=556
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=365
http://vim.sourceforge.net/scripts/script.php?script_id=213

Yepp, I figured that which is why I didn't touch it. The one thing I wondererd thoug is why the issue came up so late. There were several vims build against perl 5.10. I'm sorry I didn't catch it though
