Hello,
I am trying to run a perl script on a Solaris 10 machine, which is
suppose to display a dialog box and I keep getting a Segmentation
Fault (core dumped) error. I don't get this error message when I run
it on Windows or Linux. Does anyone have an idea on where I should
look for the root of the problem.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks!

Post the script (if it's small), or a small example script which
demonstrates the problem. The output of perl -V could also help us
diagnose the problem.

This is what perl -V returns

Dialog boxes are not an integral part of perl; such things are provided
by modules. Are you using the Tk module?

I've seen problems like this happen if $ENV{DISPLAY} or $ENV{WINDOWID}
get corrupted.
Do you get different results when running on a dtterm, an xterm, or
ssh/rlogin from elsewhere?

I am using Tk modules to create my dialog boxes.
The problem is on my machine, I get the right result when running my
script; however, it's run on a different machine, the Segmentation
Fault error arises.
Is there something missing on the other solaris machine?

I am getting the following information when I tried to debug it using
gdb
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0xfee32d98 in Tcl_utfToExternalDString
Hope that gives more information.
