The error message suggests that there may be a problem with looking up the hostname 'localhost' Have you tried checking that /etc/hosts looks correct, and has a correct entry for localhost? perl 5.6.1 is not the newest version of the perl 5.6.x series. If external constraints are forcing you to stay with perl 5.6.x, you'd be better off using 5.6.2, as it's binary compatible and has some of the bugs of 5.6.1 fixed. Nicholas Clark
