Hi,
sorry for the delay, but I have been a bit busy.
I sent the test scripts to '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (no real name provided), who asked for
them in order to reproduce the problems.
To cut it short: on his/her platform everything runs fine.
There are some differences in the VMS/UCX versions, but the perl version is the same
(5.6.1). At the moment I don't have a clue what's going wrong.
I am going to read about this "socket madness" :-)
By the way: I am using the Socket module with send/recv calls.
I'll send my two little test scripts as attachment. Perhaps somebody else can
reproduce the errors.
