This is a bug report for perl from jim@jg555.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please enter your report here]

Anytime I attempt to try to connect to the internet using a perl
program I received the following error message.

Unsupported socket function "getprotobyname" called at (module)

I received this using any program that access a socket. Example
CPAN, Net::FTP, Net::DNS.

I am using a Kernel and Perl built from source codes only.
