Subject: Socket problem w/ apache & perl cgi

I have a snippet of perl code that runs fine at the bash prompt but fails
when run under apache as a cgi app.

=======================================
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use IO::Socket;


print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";

my $socket = IO::Socket::INET->new(PeerAddr => "127.0.0.1",
                                PeerPort => 3306,
                                PeerProto => "tcp",
                                PeerType => SOCK_STREAM);
my $errno = 0;
if (!$socket) {
    $errno += $!;
    print "Could not connect: $!\n";
    print "errno = $errno\n";
} else {
    print "socket = $socket\n";
}
======================================+


Under bash I get this:

=====================
Content-type: text/plain

socket = IO::Socket::INET=GLOB(0xa1843c4)
=====================

Under apache/cgi I get this:
=====================
Could not connect: Operation not permitted
errno = 1
=====================

The standard apache test page comes up fine.

setup is
- Windows XP
- cygwin was updated as of yesterday the 29th
- httpd.conf has not been modified
- passwd and group were generated by the appropriate tools and have not been
modified
- Both perl and apache were downloaded and not built from source.
- I did install the dbi and dbd_mysql modules from cpan.


apache                  1.3.29-2
perl                    5.8.2-1


I can send a full cygcheck.out if warrented.


Any help appreciated.
