Just because something's in services, doesn't mean it's running.
Services indicates "names" for port numbers, e.g., "13 is the daytime
port".
Observe:
iago@localhost:~% grep daytime /etc/services
daytime 13/tcp
daytime 13/udp
iago@localhost:~% telnet localhost 13
Trying 127.0.0.1...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
Can't connect to port 13 ... therefore, perl shouldn't be able to
either.
