Solaris 'socket.ph' woes

Ahoy - new list member here!

The MOMspider package looks really interesting, although I'm having trouble
getting it to work under Solaris 2.4.
It works great on my LINUX box.
Hope this is the right place for tech discussions...

If anyone has time, the problem's pretty basic:


On Solaris 2.4, running PERL 5, I get the error:
"Can't locate sys/socket.ph in @INC (did you run h2ph?) at wwwhttp.pl line 32."

The wierd thing is:
/usr/local/lib/perl/sys/socket.ph exists, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

The MOMspider INSTALL.txt mentions using h2ph to recreate /sys/socket.ph.
Unfortunately, I'm not at all familiar with the "h2ph" utility,
and there's not alot of information in my perl manuals.

If I just type in:
"h2pl  /usr/local/lib/perl/sys/socket.ph",
something seems to happen, but I'm not sure what.
MOMspider still won't run, though; I continue to get the same error.

Many thanks for any help...
