The question has probably already been asked, but the forum seems to be rather long, so please don't just RTFM. Don't answer if you don't want to help me.

I have virtually no knowledge in Perl/CGI and am in some sort of trouble.

I have this CGI:IRC (0.5.4) script, which is a great one and does exactly what i want it to do on my FreeBSD server. But the person I work for needs it to work on it's win NT4 web server, and it won't work. After quite a number of days spent on google, I figured out it opened unix domain sockets, and that it is impossible to do that under win32. I tried fixing it by just changing UNIX by INET when opening the sockets like I had already done it on other scripts, but it didn't work.

Can you help? (either by "simulating" unix domain sockets under windows, or by finding a win32 version of it)

Cheers
