I'm trying to build a perl application using the SCTP transport, and am having problems receiving any packets/messages from the socket. I've tried to connect, listen, rcvmsg, and nothing produces output to screen. I know SCTP support hasn't been around for too long, and searching this site only produces one other question.... Maybe someone has more info on using it? I'm running ActivePerl 5.10 on a Solaris 10 Intel platform. Here is the script. 
#!/opt/ActivePerl-5.10/bin/perl -U
use Socket;
$port     = 5002;
$iaddr    = inet_aton('localhost');
$paddr    = sockaddr_in($port, $iaddr);
$proto    = getprotobyname('sctp');

socket( Server, AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, $proto ) || die "Socket Failed: 
+$!";
bind(Server, $paddr) || die "Socket Bind Failed: $!";
listen(Server, SOMAXCON) || die "Socket Listen Failed: $!";
print "SERVER started on SCTP port $port\n";
while (1)
{    recvmsg(Sock, $MSG, 1024, MSG_WAITALL) || die "Socket Recieve Fai
+led: $!";
    print "Packet: ". $MSG ."\n";
}
