This probably describes the same issue as http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=490660 The fix was queued into Bleadperl, it's relatively small and safe; in case you want to cherry-pick it: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commitdiff/99f13d4c3419e967e95c5ac6a3af61e9bb0fd3c0 The workaround would be as follows: # Native sockaddr_un might be broken in Perl's Socket.xs, # dispatch to replacement if it is the case *sockaddr_un_native = \&sockaddr_un; *sockaddr_un = sub { my $address = shift; if (length ($address) + 2 == length (sockaddr_un_native ($@))) { *sockaddr_un = \&sockaddr_un_native; } else { *sockaddr_un = sub { "\x01\x00".shift }; } return (sockaddr_un ($address, @_)); }; Best Regards, Lubo -- Fedora 12 Alpha is out.
