If you correctly run h2ph on your include files, under perl 5, you should be able to: use Socket; &SOCK_STREAM to get the correct values. In those cases (carryovers from perl4) where the SOCK_STREAM and other constants are hard-coded, change them. If you find in the standard perl5 distribution any hard-coded values like these, please let us know at perl5-porters@nicoh.com, or post to comp.lang.perl. >-- End of excerpt from Jeremy Foot Steve -- Stephen P Potter spp@vx.com Varimetrix Corporation 2350 Commerce Park Drive, Suite 4 Palm Bay, FL 32905 (407) 676-3222 CAD/CAM/CAE/Software
