This is a bug report for perl from root@ibmwp1.technodat.co.at,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.1.


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

when building with default Extensions (incl. Socket), perl build
fails when linking. I removed Socket in config.sh, now perl could
be built, but e.g. the installation of cpan's HTTP::Date fails as
one of it's dependencies needs Socket.
any suggestions ? It's no problem to build new ...
