System name:		deathtongue
Type and version:	SPARC/IPX 7.6F
Display type:		cgthree

What were you trying to do?
	Run a perl script which uses sockets.

What's wrong:
	the perl library is misinstalled.

<4> deathtongue:~> (unsetenv PERLLIB ; /usr/athena/bin/perl -e 'print join(":",@INC),"\n";' )
/usr/athena/lib/perl:.
<5> deathtongue:~> ls /usr/athena/lib/perl
perl/

the stuff in /usr/athena/lib/perl/perl should be in /usr/athena/lib/perl.

In addition, there are subdirectories missing from the lib dir, namely:

X/ X11/ admin/ arpa/ inet/ kerberos/ net/ netinet/ nfs/ protocols/
rpc/ rpcsvc/ vm/

I use arpa, net, inet, and netinet, so this is not a specious
argument.  There's no reason not to include all the subdirs of
/usr/include in the perl lib directory.  If you want a regression
test, I have a couple scripts I can give you.

What should have happened:
	my scripts should have worked.

Please describe any relevant documentation references:
