This is funny (or not actually :( ) Now when I try to compile Socket I get the same error.

From what I've seen, it seems like typical solaris experience :(

It also seems like your admin should have caught/resolved this when installing perl

Trying search again: Socket.so fatal relocation error inet_aton→ Re: [perl #17535] inet_aton not found during test phase - nntp.perl.org 

=item __inet_* errors

If you receive unresolved symbol errors during Perl build and/or test
referring to __inet_* symbols, check to see whether BIND 8.1 is
installed.  It installs a /usr/local/include/arpa/inet.h that refers t
+o
these symbols.  Versions of BIND later than 8.1 do not install inet.h
in that location and avoid the errors.  You should probably update to 
+a
newer version of BIND (and remove the files the old one left behind).
If you can't, you can either link with the updated resolver library pr
+ovided
with BIND 8.1 or rename /usr/local/bin/arpa/inet.h during the Perl bui
+ld and
test process to avoid the problem.

So give that a try :D

Should I place it somewhere else? (In /usr/local/perl perhaps? )

No
