Folks (& esp package authors),

I just went and got the latest version of libwww-perl from the CPAN archive
(5.05).  I have Perl 5.003 installed on a Solaris 2.3 machine.... a pretty
standard Perl5 install.  I would think these packages/modules would install
and test very painlessly in this environment, but it seems a lot broke.

Two things disturbed me: one is, in just making the makefile, perl bitched
thusly:
Checking for IO::Socket. failed
Can't locate IO/Socket.pm in @INC at Makefile.PL line 30.

Is IO::Socket.pm a Perl5.002 module?  Surprises me that such a big change
would occur in a .000 release.

Also, The test for the libwww-perl package seems to fail in lots of places;
many of the errors are "Use of uninitialized value" errors akin to those
that appear when -w flag of perl is used.  Others are looking for Socket::
packages that aren't there.  Was the jump from 5.002 to 5.003 so big that
all these things got broke?

Here's my test results:
