Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right list for my issue.  ActivePerl for Unix ?
I'm wondering if there is a difference between ActivePerl for linux and Perl
for linux.  If this is not the correct list for this, let me know and I will
post this to another list.

Anyway - here is my problem.

I am installing Perl 5.8.0 from source on RH Linux 7.3 with a 2.4 kernel.
Everything goes smoothly in MakeFile and make.  Then make test passes all
tests except for two.

They were:
        etc/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t
        lib/Net/hostent.t

When I run the second test './perl lib/Net/hostent.t' individually sometimes
it WORKS fine and others I get the following result.

1..7
ok 1 - use Net::hostent;
ok 2 - gethost('localhost')
not ok 3 - addr from gethost
#     Failed test (lib/Net/hostent.t at line 39)
#          got: '66.180.108.26'
#     expected: '127.0.0.1'
ok 4 - gethostbyaddr('127.0.0.1')
ok 5 - addr from gethostbyaddr
# name = localhost.magicandmedia.com, aliases =
ok 6
ok 7

Note:: 66.180.108.26 is the outside ip address of that server, but I have no
idea where it is getting that address because it is running through a
hardware firewall and 'nat'  changes it to 10.0.0.21.

When I run the first test './perl etc/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t'  it always
fails but at different tests.  Sometimes it will make to 17 and sometimes 10
and both die with -
        Died at ext/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t line 35

Other times it only passes 1 and the dies with  -
'accept failed: Connection timed out at /etc/IO/lib/IO/t/io_sock.t line 61.

 I have checked, hosts, resolv.conf and ifconfig and route, but nothing
looks out of whack.

I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
Thomas Whitney
