Thanks a lot!  It seems that I had an old version hanging around that 
dpkg doesn't know about.

It's funny because the old version had a date of 1999 and I've run cruft 
a few times since then and it apparently didn't find it!

rjc@lyta:/usr$ find . -name Socket.pm
./lib/perl/5.6.1/IO/Socket.pm
./lib/perl/5.6.1/Socket.pm
./lib/perl5/IO/Socket.pm
./lib/perl5/Socket.pm
rjc@lyta:/usr$ dpkg -S Socket.pm
perl-base: /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/IO/Socket.pm
perl-base: /usr/lib/perl/5.6.1/Socket.pm
