Perl DBI connection timeout on SLES 10 sp4 X86

prashantktyagi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

My application create a db connection to sql server using dbi::proxy.
On server runs a proxy service (written in perl with conjuction to dbiproxy.exe) which listen incoming connection and create a socket.

my application is working fine on Redhat Linux( kernel 2.4) but when I run my app on SUSE 10 sp4 x86_64, this is the issue..

here is my apllication dbi script( client) which fails to connect and timeout..

my $sock = new IO::Socket::INET(
            PeerAddr => $server,
            PeerPort => 9000,
            Proto    => 'tcp',
        );

print " error : $!, $@ ";

Gives output ...

error: Illegal seek,
error: Connection refused, IO::Socket::INET: Timeout
error: Connection refused, IO::Socket::INET: Timeout
error: Connection refused, IO::Socket::INET: Timeout
error: Illegal seek, IO::Socket::INET: Timeout
Illegal seek,error: Illegal seek, IO::Socket::INET: Timeout

I have doubt on IO::Socket::INET module bundled within my application. Is this a module bug or system issue?
Please guide ..

my application is working fine on Redhat Linux( kernel 2.4) but when I run my app on SUSE 10 sp4 x86_64, this is the issue.. Are the two operating systems on the same machine? with the same IP? I ask because "Connection refused" could mean a firewall or a host filtering rule prevents you from accessing the port in question. Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed	[reply]

These OS's are Virtual machines under same host but different IP. I will check about firewall rules.	[reply]

Hi all, I have checked the firewall setting and network domain. Everything is fine. But still I am not able to create a socket through IO::Socket::INET on Suse machine. Please help me to find the cause of this issue. Any other way to debug this thing ?	[reply]
