Hello Monks,

I have never had this happen before..

$perl sockettest.pl 
Socket defines neither package nor VERSION--version check failed at /u
+sr/local/ActivePerl-5.10/lib/IO/Socket.pm line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /usr/local/ActivePerl-5.10/lib/IO
+/Socket.pm line 12.
Compilation failed in require at sockettest.pl line 25.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at sockettest.pl line 25.

And I am not sure what to do.... it is a standard perl installation that I have used all along.. I checked IO::Socket.pm and Socket.pm just for kicks and everything seemed to be fine. (As it should be... these are standard perl modules)

Any thoughts?

P.S.: The same code works ferpectly well on other hosts... effectively it is the same as:

$perl
use IO::Socket;
