[MacPerl] Unix socket incompatibility?

[Erin Shaw <shaw@isi.edu>]

Hi again,

I'm having difficulty using standard Unix TCP socket/bind/connect code
(ported to MacPerl) to connect to our Unix web server.  The code works
successfully in Unix, and appears to work on the Mac (the error codes
are clean), but the web server either ignores, or never gets the
connection because it doesn't appear in it's log file and no response
is returned to our client.

Note: we use SOCK_STREAM=1.

I just spoke to someone who experienced a similar problem with socket
code that was ported to an SGI, so now I'm even more mystified.

Thanks,

Erin

P.S. If I get this working, I will make it available.
