Good catch, problem is then circumvented. These lines are indeed
generated by eperl_perl5_sm.pl, in xsi_body function.  This routine
comes from Extutils/Embed.pm
Could you replace this xsi_body function in eperl_perl5_sm.pl by the one
shipped with your Perl installation and see if it fixes this problem?
If it does, please send this function in order for me to integrate it.
