Subject​: use lines crash Perl.exe

Hi, this is about a problem I'm having with any perl script which contains
any of these lines​:

use Socket;
use Fcntl;

Anything that doesn't have Library​::Something will make it crash (except use
strict).
My Perl exe file is perl5.00503.exe in the ActivePerl
build 516 distribution. I'm running Sambar Server 4.1 using Netscape
Navigator 4.08 to test my scripts. The script, Dr Watson report, and perl -V
output is enclosed.
I seriously need this to work ASAP!

Thanks for your help and keep up the excellent work.
