Hi All -

Please forgive the cross posting but I'm not sure if this is a simple
question for questions or a missing / broken something meaning a question 
more for hackers. I also found nothing to help in searching the mailing 
list archives.

AAARRGGGGGHHHHHHHH - I broke perl. Everything is going to blowup on my box.

Here is what I am getting -

diablo >perl ~/perl/getwlogs.pl                              
Can't find 'boot_Socket' symbol in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00401/auto/Socket/Socket.so
 at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/FTP.pm line 17
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/Net/FTP.pm line 17.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at getwlogs.pl line 43.

I also get the same error from lwp-download

diablo >gettrans
/home/stanny/bin
rm: index.html: No such file or directory
lwp-download: Can't download: 501 Can't find 'boot_Socket' symbol in
/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00401/auto/Socket/Socket.so
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/LWP/Socket.pm line 41.

diablo >ls -l
/usr/local/lib/perl5/i386-freebsd/5.00401/auto/Socket
total 40
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel      0 Oct 17 01:17 Socket.bs
-r-xr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19466 Oct 17 01:17 Socket.so

What is Socket.bs and should it be 0 length?

I pkg_add-ed perl-5.00401,  p5-libwww-5.12, p5-Net-1.0505, &
p5-MIME-Base64-2.03. I am running FreeBSD 2.2.2. Am I just missing a package ?

Please email me direct since freebsd-questions-digest has stopped getting
to me
(but freebsd-hackers-digest still gets through OK ???). 

Please hurry - cron table hell will breakout at 0600 tomorrow :-(

TIA


cheers

gary
