This is not a DXSpider problem as such. It is a symptom of more than one 
perl being installed at once and/or a botched system update.

I am wondering why or how you appear to be using a path for the perl 
stuff starting at '/usr0'. What distro are you using? Is there a 
'/usr/lib/perl/'? What does 'perl -v' tell us? is there more than one 
perl binary and, if so, where are they ('locate perl' may help here)? Do 
you have a copy of 'CPanel' installed and, if so, is it completely up to 
date? Because there have been a number of DXSpider [amongst many other 
perl programs] bugs reported with the CPanel Storable which they claim 
are now cured.

One thing you could usefully do is to recreate your user file.

Make sure your DXSpider is up to date using git, CVS (or if needs must: 
http://www.dxcluster.org/download/CVSlatest.tgz) then:

* stop the node
* rm /spider/data/users.v3
* perl /spider/data/user_asc
* restart the node

This may clear it.
