Thanks for the replies. I tried the suggested changes, which didn't help. Adding a print statement after the "Accept" loop shows the script will listen, but not accept a connection. I have verified that the server listens on port SCTP/5002 using a "netstat -an". I'm also learning/writing/testing a C program in parallel, and C can open the same port and responds to the SCTP requests. 
#!/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: $
+!";
setsockopt(Server, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, pack("l", 1))  || die "se
+tsockopt: $!";
bind(Server, $paddr) || die "Socket Bind Failed: $!";
listen(Server, SOMAXCON) || die "Socket Listen Failed: $!";
print "SERVER started on SCTP port $port\n";

while (accept CONNECTION, Server)
{   print "Connection Accepted\n";
    select CONNECTION; $| = 1; select STDOUT;
    print "Client connected at ", scalar(localtime), "\n";
    print CONNECTION "You're connected to the server!\n";

 while (<CONNECTION>) {
    print "Client says: $_\n";
   print CONNECTION $_;
}

close CONNECTION;
print "Client disconnected\n";
}
