Do you mean something along the lines of:
use Config;
BEGIN {
die "You are socketless!\n"
unless Config::config_vars(qw/d_socket/) eq 'define';
}
If you need really specific socket capabilities there is any number of fine-grained tests you could perform. Randomly cutting and pasting from perldoc Config gives things like
=over
`d_getsbyname'
From d_getsrvby.U:
This variable conditionally defines the
`HAS_GETSERVBYNAME' symbol, which indicates to the C
program that the getservbyname() routine is available to
look up services by their name.
=cut
Is this what you were looking for?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
