Steve Palm reported that error last week on this list. It relates to a
patch included in 4.x to make ipv6 work.
It's likely you have an old version of perl and Socket.pm. Could you tell
us your versions? Run this:
perl -v
perl -e 'use Socket; print $Socket::VERSION . "\n"'
Try upgrading Socket.pm:
sudo cpan
install Socket
I'll add a version check on Socket to configure.pl.
