If you read the IO::Socket::INET source you will see that this means
that the getprotobyname('tcp') call fails. You can test it directly
with a perl one-liner like this:
$ perl -le '$, = " "; print getprotobyname("tcp")'
tcp TCP 6
On Unix systems getprotobyname() is normally a lookup in the file
/etc/protocols, where you should find a entry for 'tcp'. I have no
idea how this database is mantained under NT.
