"glibc detected - double free or corruption"

It could be something related to the readline library, or failing that, 
the actual Perl installation. Some things you can try:

1) Rebuild and install the Term::ReadLine::Gnu library from the extras 
subdirectory. Could be your current build is slightly busted for some 
reason. 

2) If rebuilding the Perl module does not work, it could be something 
broke in the actual readline library. If possible, upgrade to the latest 
RPM and rebuild the Perl module once more.

3) Failing both of those, there is a chance that just loading the SSL 
library is causing problems. Either that or your Perl installation is 
horked for some reason or another. Try using another Perl script that 
makes use of the Net::SSLeay library (msfupdate for instance) and see if 
that also throws the heap errors.
