I experienced the same symptoms, good monk c, when using IO::Socket v1.1603 and Perl 5.00503 on Debian.   Upgrading IO::Socket to v1.25 didn't help.   But your code works fine for me with Cygwin (and Win2k alone), running IO::Socket v1.26 and Perl 5.00601.

So the problem would appear to be either with down-rev IO::Socket and/or down-rev Perl.   FWIW, I found simpler syntax for what you're attempting in Network Programming with Perl.   Let me know if you're interested.

BTW, single-quotes will suffice at lines 6 and 8, since you aren't interpolating variables.   And no quotes are needed at all on lines 7, 11, 12, 13, and 14.
