 I'm not sure about the timestamp, but the path to the older Socket.pm 
 doesn't exist on any of my systems.  I hate to sound like a broken 
 record, but I really do think you have a broken perl install.  Now I 
 think you have a broken perl install that won't be fixed without wiping 
 out your entire perl install (perl, p5 modules, and everything that uses 
 perl), deleting distfiles, deleting work dirs, portsnapping a fresh 
 tree, then reinstalling perl and p5 modules *only* by way of 
 dependencies from other ports.
