add.cgi -- can't locate Socket.pm
I installed Links 2.0 today, and have successfully tested most components (Verify doesn't like our perl 5.003, though) However, the Add a Resource page produces the following error:
CGI ERROR
==========================================
Error Message : fatal error: Can't locate Socket.pm in @INC at /opt/netscape/suitespot/cgi-bin/links/admin/Mailer.pm line 22.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /opt/netscape/suitespot/cgi-bin/links/admin/Mailer.pm line 22.

Script Location : /opt/netscape/suitespot/cgi-bin/links/add.cgi
Perl Version : 5.003

However, the entered record does appear in the Admin screens, and can be validated or deleted OK. What is needed to avoid the error message?

Without really knowing what it does, I tried commenting out the "use Socket;" line in mailer.pm, but then the add.cgi just froze. Still stuck.
