Hi all,

I got this error.
(rawsock) socket problems [fatal] at /usr/lib/perl5/Net/RawIP.pm line 620.

Tried to install RawIP
cpan[3]> install Net::RawIP
Net::RawIP is up to date (0.25).

Any idea how to fix it?

Are you running it on linux and not as root? You will get this error usually if you are not as linux will not let you access raw sockets otherwise.

When I do an update I'll add a more useful error message when initialising the socket :)
