I haven't been able to use TCPIP sockets with Perl on z/OS since Perl v5.6.1.  The newer releases build fine and pass 97-98% of the test suite but I fear it's hopelessly broken for the z/OS platform and I don't know enough to try and fix it.  Perl is useless without TCPIP socket support.
 
You would think IBM would see the value in having an open, industry-standard scripting language for z/OS UNIX (besides Rexx which really isn't open)...they need to fund a "catch up" release where they help get Perl ported and working again on this platform. 
 
Or perhaps they have abandoned z/OS UNIX in favor of LINUX.
