IO::Socket gives this error on BeOS:

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


The fix is in IO/Socket.pm at line 22.

Old code:
require IO::Socket::UNIX if ($^O ne 'epoc' && $^O ne 'symbian');

New code:
require IO::Socket::UNIX if ($^O ne 'epoc' && $^O ne 'symbian' && $^O ne
'beos');

I have just tried it in 5.12.1 - the problem still exists.

5.12.3 is due soon - it would be great if this fix were to be incorporated.
