Yep, I did exactly that, I got the 1.5 Socket version from CPAN, and installed *that*.

Yes, I know that I downgraded Socket because of that, but I was ready to take that chance.

I added 

        if (strEQ(name, "SO_ORIGINAL_DST"))
#ifdef SO_ORIGINAL_DST
            return SO_ORIGINAL_DST;
#else
            goto not_there;
#endif

[download]
in Socket.xs ,and also put the SO_ORIGINAL_DST tag in Socket.pm

I compiled it and installed it. It installed it in /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux/auto/Socket/Socket.so

Now, when I run: 

my $destination_address = $server_socket->sockopt(SO_ORIGINAL_DST);
print STDERR "Error: $!\n";
print STDERR "Requested destination address: $destination_address\n";

[download]
I get "Your vendor has not defined Socket macro SO_ORIGINAL_DST, used at ./proxy.pl line 14".

So the error appears as soon as $server_socket->sockopt() gets called, because it doesn't even reach the "Error: " output.
