dns error or module error?

Trying to install Net::SSLeay on Solaris 9 and I get the following
message in the output:

 

Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at
/m1/shared/perl/5.8.5-09/lib/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/Socket.pm line 373.

Bad arg length for Socket::pack_sockaddr_in, length is 0, should be 4 at
/m1/shared/perl/5.8.5-09/lib/5.8.5/sun4-solaris/Socket.pm line 373.

 

I've googled parts of this error and get some indication it might have
to do with dns problem, but as far as I know I have no dns problem.  Any
advice?

 

Thanks,

John W.
