chances are there's a process already listening.

--shmem

update: it is a silly question; if there was, it would die "Cant establish socket"

Set up the socket as DGRAM:

my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new(
                                LocalAddr => 'loghost',
                                LocalPort => 514,
                                Proto => 'udp',
                                Type  => SOCK_DGRAM,
                                # Listen => '5'  # for SOCK_STREAM
) or die "Cant establish socket";
