I ran "perldoc -f state" and it says in the last paragraph 
"            "state" is available only if the "state" feature is enabl
+ed or
            if it is prefixed with "CORE::". The "state" feature is en
+abled
            automatically with a "use v5.10" (or higher) declaration i
+n the
            current scope.

So I tried putting "use 5.10;" in my program and it said: 
"Perl v5.100.0 required (did you mean v5.10.0?)--this is only v5.30.0,
+ stopped at bin/zclient line 5."

so it looks liek the "state" documentation is telling me to use version 5 by 100!

The manpage for IO::Socket::INET has this in it. I didn't even try running it because it has the bareword of udp there which I'm pretty sure is illegal? 

              $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(
                                      PeerPort  => 9999,
                                      PeerAddr  => inet_ntoa(INADDR_BR
+OADCAST),
                                      Proto     => udp,
                                      LocalAddr => 'localhost',
                                      Broadcast => 1 )
                                  or die "Can't bind : $@\n";
