Anyone attempting to use perl4 or perl5 with SGI IRIX 5.3 may discover
that sockets are essentially broken. The syslog interface for perl also
fails because it uses the broken socket interface. This problem was
reported to SGI as bug #255347 and it can be fixed by installing
patchSG0000596. The patch can be downloaded from Advantage OnLine (SGI's
WWW server) or from the Support Advantage 9/95 Patch CDROM. Thanks to Tom
Christiansen and others who provided assistance.
