On BeOS, IO::Socket fails to load with:

"Your vendor has not defined Socket macro AF_UNIX, used at
/boot/home/config/lib/perl5/5.8.8/BePC-beos/IO/Socket/UNIX.pm line 18"

A hack is to edit ../lib/perl5/5.8.8/BePC-beos/IO/Socket/INET.pm
commenting out line 25 thus:

my %socket_type = ( tcp  => SOCK_STREAM,
                   udp  => SOCK_DGRAM
                   # icmp => SOCK_RAW
                 );

Of course that is NOT a proper fix, I'd welcome a fix that supports
systems without SOCK_RAW

I have just tried it with Perl 5.12.1, the problem still exists.

5.12.3 is due soon, it would be great if this could be fixed in the release.
