[ID 20000412.003] Behaviour change in IO::Socket::INET

This is a bug report for perl from brianr@liffe.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.28 running under perl v5.6.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
The behaviour of _sock_info (in IO::Socket::INET.pm) has changed so that
the call will fail if getservbyname fails, even if a valid port number
has been supplied, e.g "pop3(110)". I suggest the following patch:

*** INET.pm.orig	Tue Apr 11 14:56:53 2000
--- INET.pm	Wed Apr 12 15:30:53 2000
***************
*** 34,39 ****
--- 34,40 ----
  
  sub _sock_info {
    my($addr,$port,$proto) = @_;
+   my $origport = $port;
    my @proto = ();
    my @serv = ();
  
***************
*** 59,72 ****
      my $defport = $1 || undef;
      my $pnum = ($port =~ m,^(\d+)$,)[0];
  
!     if ($port =~ m,\D,) {
!       unless (@serv = getservbyname($port, $proto[0] || "")) {
! 	$@ = "Bad service '$port'";
! 	return;
!       }
!     }
  
      $port = $pnum || $serv[2] || $defport || undef;
  
      $proto = (getprotobyname($serv[3]))[2] || undef
  	if @serv && !$proto;
--- 60,73 ----
      my $defport = $1 || undef;
      my $pnum = ($port =~ m,^(\d+)$,)[0];
  
!     @serv = getservbyname($port, $proto[0] || "")
! 	if ($port =~ m,\D,);
  
      $port = $pnum || $serv[2] || $defport || undef;
+     unless (defined $port) {
+ 	$@ = "Bad service '$origport'";
+ 	return;
+     }
  
      $proto = (getprotobyname($serv[3]))[2] || undef
  	if @serv && !$proto;
