Perl Causing High Load?

Hey,

I've noticed over the past few days Perl seems to be causing a High Load. Sometimes there are up to 4 individual threads running full out, or at least one which is causing a high load. When I kill the threads they seem to just restart and I'm unsure what they are being used for.

Here's the example of the top output:

6482 nobody 25 0 4808 3032 1488 R 99.7 0.3 39:18.82 perl

Has anyone seen a similar problem to this, or have a suggestion on what I can do to ensure this problem goes away. The server is a CPanel/WHM server running CentOs with a pretty standard setup.

Thanks,

Dave
