Hi,

I'm new to this site and relatively new to perl, so first off would like to say hi!

I'm using HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI to serve up a simple form which then calls a shell script as an action. It all works fine except for users in one of our office sites. The form gets served and submitted ok, but then the process exits with the following:

Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/HTTP/Server/Simple.pm line 397. Bad arg length for Socket::sockaddr_family, length is 0, should be at least 2 at /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/HTTP/Server/Simple.pm line 397

I'm not really doing anything special, I've just modified the example given with the docs slightly. I'm using perl v5.10.0 on SuSE Enterprise Server 11.3

Wondering if anyone has seen this before?

Thanks, Stu
