Hey, I'm trying to pre-open multiple sockets listening on the same address. (think apache in Perl...)

Problem is, when I set ReusePort => 1 I get Your vendor has not defined Socket macro SO_REUSEPORT, used at /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/IO/Socket/INET.pm line 160

Any clue what I can do for a workaround from here?

Perl version is 5.6.1 on i386 Linux

Code snippet is: 

use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Socket;
    my $sock =
      new IO::Socket::INET( Listen => SOMAXCONN,
                LocalPort => 5000,
                LocalAddr => 'localhost',
                Proto => 'tcp',
                ReuseAddr => 1,
                ReusePort => 1,
                  )
        or die "failed opening socket: $!";
