From upstream Changes:

0.60 Thu Jul 30 08:28:18 2009
        - Graham Jenkins <email address hidden> reported additional issues
          with the cleanup in the DESTROY method. Tweaked it to avoid
          double free issues.

The diff between 0.59 and 0.60 shows a change in this function (NETCUPS_freeDestination) which appears in the stacktrace:
http://search.cpan.org/diff?from=Net-CUPS-0.59&to=Net-CUPS-0.60

Debian has 0.60 in testing and unstable.

I tried 0.60-1 (i386) from debian on my karmic box, and the command does not crash with this version.

Thanks,
Alexis Bienvenue.

PS: no problem with this command on another ubuntu 9.04 installation with libnet-cups-perl 0.59-1, though...
