| What do I do to fix this.
Socket version 1.3 required--this is only version at Socket.pm line 12.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Socket.pm line 12.
I checked out line 12 in Socket.pm:
use Socket 1.3;
Where do I upgrade this from?

Socket is a core module - that is, it's a standard part of Perl. The current
5.8.4 release of Perl comes with Socket 1.77. The oldest Perl I have right
now is 5.6.0, which is over four years old. It comes with Socket 1.72. On
CPAN I see a Socket-1.5.tar.gz that's dated June '96.
What Perl version to you have? What does 'perl -v' say?

Ouch. That's over five years old. :-(
Well, I'll assume that you have a good reason for using last century's
Perl... Maybe you're doing regression testing or something. You might try
installing the standalone Socket module from CPAN:
http://cpan.org/modules/by-module/S...cket-1.5.tar.gz
It's not the latest, but at least it's newer than 1.3. I don't see any newer
versions available separately - like I said, it's part of the Perl core
now.

| Are there any known issues to be aware of when upgrading from 5 to 5.8? 5
and 5.8 are ported on my FreeBSD.

I don't know about FreeBSD specifically - I've used Perl for a long time, on
a variety of other systems, but not *BSD.
You can review what's changed by looking at the perldelta* documents -
they're online at <http://perldoc.com>, so you can view them without having
to install Perl first.

Perl 5.005_04 was released a few months ago.
<http://use.perl.org/article.pl?sid=04/03/01/181242>
I'm not sure what upgrading would buy *you*.

Yes. Programs that rely on the old version of perl, couldbreak.
Best is to install the new version in a different location, continue to
use the old version for those programs, and develop for the newer
version.
