"getaddrinfo" is not exported by the Socket module

Greetings,

I have code.

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN { unshift @INC, "/home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5" }

use strict;
use warnings;
use Socket qw( getaddrinfo getnameinfo );
[download]

I get this error.

"getaddrinfo" is not exported by the Socket module
 "getnameinfo" is not exported by the Socket module
Can't continue after import errors at /home/neil/bin/ptr line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/neil/bin/ptr line 7.
[download]

This is perl 5.10.1. The default installed Socket version is 1.82. I installed a later version of Socket (see BEGIN), v2.0006. Aren't these sub in Socket?

update

I'm not set on this path. My goal is to find a host name from an IP address that may be IPV4 or IPV6. I cannot know ahead of time which IP version might be presented.

I see no mention of `getaddressinfo` in the POD for perl 5.10.1 at http://perldoc.perl.org/5.10.1/Socket.html. You can look at your installed version with: `perldoc Socket perldoc -m Socket` [download] However, perl 5.16 (currently on the web) Socket does mention it: The entire getaddrinfo() subsystem can be exported using the tag :addrinfo ; this exports the getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() functions	[reply] [d/l] [select]

BEGIN { unshift @INC, "/home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5" } Is the "later version" of Socket.pm located in the /home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5/ directory ? I expect it might be in a sub-directory of that location. If so, then you'll still be loading the original version of Socket.pm. Update: Of the various versions of Socket that I have, version 1.94 is the earliest version that exports getaddrinfo. (I have it with perl-5.14. The versions I have with 5.10.0 and 5.12.0 don't export getaddrinfo.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]

The later version of Socket I installed is here: `/home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread-multi/Socket.pm` Neil Watson watson-wilson.ca	[reply] [d/l]

Progress. I installed Socket in local lib. I had to do this to load it: `#!/usr/bin/perl BEGIN { unshift @INC, "/home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5" } BEGIN { unshift @INC, "/home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5/x86_64-linux-thread- +multi" } use strict; use warnings; use Socket qw ( getnameinfo getaddrinfo );` [download] If there is a better way I'm all ears. I know I can set a shell environment but, I'm not inclined to trust that once the program is shipped out. Neil Watson watson-wilson.ca	[reply] [d/l]
