I'm still in favor of moving the socket functions into Socket if for no
other reason than it may help beat into people's heads that code like:

    eval 'require "sys/socket.ph"';
    eval 'sub SOCK_DGRAM {-f "/vmunix" ? 2 : 1;}' if $@;

and

    $csock = pack('S n a4 x8', 2, 0, $caddr);
    $ssock = pack('S n a4 x8', 2, $port, $saddr);

    unless (socket(S,2,&SOCK_DGRAM,$UDP_PROTO)) {
        warn "$0 (socket): $!\n"; close S; return undef;
    }

should be done away with for good.
