in reply to Socket problem - when running Win32 app as someone different than Admin

On most of the client side win32 OS, SOCK_RAW is not supported at all; On server side, you have to be super.

I never did this in Perl, but did this in c++ before, and what I said is what I got then. However for this particular problem, it does not matter what language is being used, the OS determines this.

    Thanks, ++ for each of you.. if it is a port problem as you suggest. It is ugly because, I don't get a value for $! or $@ back.

      In the case of WinSock errors, $! gets set to an error code that has no text description programmatically available. So check 0+$! instead of $! and then look up that error number in winsock.h.
