Right, got a gentoo system, everything works properly except (apparently) for Perl. A bunch of stuff which relies on perl doesn't seem to be able to do simple stuff like open connections to servers, open sockets etc.
I've a pop3 program which hsa this:
and always dies on that line. I can connect to mail.domain.com, the script can't though. Doesn't make any difference if I use the IP either.
Similarly, Razor2 can't create a startup config as it can't connect to the right server:
Thing is, it is reachable. I can telnet into that address on that port. The script that's running it (guessing perl here) can't!
Also, starting spamd:
Not an error, but evidence that something's up with this. Should I downgrade perl? Uninstall it and reinstall? I've reinstalled over the top of the current, but not hard uninstall/reinstalled for fear of actually breaking something.
Any ideas?
