Not with perl5, but in perl4 the numbers for the socket stuff was
wrong because Sun in their infinite wisdom changed the defines for the
socket types.

update socket.ph so it looks like this:

    eval 'sub SOCK_STREAM {2;}';
    eval 'sub SOCK_DGRAM {1;}';
    eval 'sub SOCK_RAW {4;}';
    eval 'sub SOCK_RDM {5;}';
    eval 'sub SOCK_SEQPACKET {6;}';

This worked for me with 4.036 on Solaris.
