Daniel;

Thanks for your response. HN is working now and these are the steps that I took to make it so.

In the install instructions, you say to comment out the line "use Socket " if you are using Perl 4. I do not know if it is the distribution I am using or what, but what I had to do is comment out the entire if...else clause and use the line that loaded sys/socket.ph manually. I think that the $] was being interpreted as a string and therfore greater than 5. In the same script, the line : chop ($thishost = '$hostname') was not getting set right. I think that $hostname in Linux or in Linux Perl may not be there or something. Then ENV $HOSTNAME is set ok, but this does not make it to $hostname in Perl. I set the $thishost variable manually and all is well.
