Hi, I Have Litle problem under perl 5.8.0 on redhat 8.0. 
perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for i386-linux-thread-multi

[download]
Ihave litle code which use socket 
use Socket 1.3;
no utf8;


socket(RAW,17, 3, 255) || die $!; #open raw socket
my $inetrface=1;  #1-lo 2-eth0 3-eth1

#sending raw data to socket this data must by ethernet packet but for 
+this examle this is irelevant if packet is not valid proble is same w
+ith valid packet

#         ______d_a_t_a_______ 
send(RAW,"\255\127\255\255\255",0,pack("SniC12",17,0,$interface,0)) ||
+ die "Send :$!\n";

but if I do strace on this program Iget this line which corespondig with sent. Look closer to data on this kernel call there is \302\255 and not plain \255 but ffor \127 is same \127 
sendto(3, "\302\255W\302\255\302\255\302\255", 9, 0, {sin_family=AF_PA
+CKET, proto=0000, if1, pkttype=0,addr(0)={0, }, 20) = 9

on perl 5.6.1 this is without problems ! data in perl send a at kernel call sendto is same and raw packet is valid.
