Re^5: Network Programming With Perl example 1

No, it works fine with Activestate Perl 5.8.0 for me. You have to be connected to the web, of course ;-)
(I tried it disconnected, and got an "Invalid Argument" error, but I didn't imagine that was the problem you are having. Did you try "perl -c" on your script?)

I am connected to the internet via a router:) And I did the -c and it says the syntax is OK. The error I get is "A socket operation attempted to an unreachable network..." :(	[reply]

I'm stumped, then. It must be something about your connection, not Perl. Some other monk may know...	[reply]

I will attempt a reinstall of Perl to see if that works for now. Thanks.	[reply]
