This looks more and more like a network / os configuration problem. Check your host configs. Is there a pocket filter active on the host itself? Is it possible that you have some other client binded to the same port? I'm not sure if socket interface on Windows allows that though. As a last suggestion try write a simple echo server and run it on the localhost with the same port number and see if your application can receive a message. Or maybe simulate a network exchage with Telnet session.

# Simple echo server using POE framework (from CPAN)
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP);

POE::Component::Server::TCP->new(
    Port        => 12345,
    ClientInput => \&client_input,
);

POE::Kernel->run();
exit;

sub client_input {
    my ($heap, $input) = @_[ HEAP, ARG0 ];
    print "[$$]: $input\n";
    $heap->{client}->put($input);
}
