I actually tried those things, and when running the standalone with the
magic string from this command line: "./tcptest.pl"
everything works.

I used perl -MCPAN to get Socket and it was up to date and I also got
Socket6 and I'll test it but it's probably not neccessary.

What about GloabalSub <<EOS versus GlobalSub <<EOF?
They seem to do the same thing.

What about the way I call and return? In my checkout.html I have:

[perl subs=1]
my @out = tcptest();
return("@out");
[/perl]

and the GlobalSub also returns with return("@out"); I had to send back
an interpolated array to get it to work.

Other than that I'm stumped. I'll try loading other modules with use and
see if it's just IO::Socket that is the problem.
