Hi all,

after installing optware with nfs on my TS-209, i was happy that
everything works so smooth.

but now, i tried to migrate all my perl scripts to my TS, and how
disappointing, libwww is not working. I installed libwww with ipg, but
every request i make with libwww fails with timout.

To go into details, i tried to compile libwww on myself:

perl Makefile.PL

Test server timeout
Can't connect: IO::Socket::INET: connect: timeout
The can-we-talk-to-ourself test failed.

You appear to have a misconfigured system, so I will disable tests
that try to talk HTTP to a local server.

This error comes from the "talk-to-ourself" script. I debugged the
script and the timeout occures at line 39,
---
if (my $client = $socket->accept) {

I'm not sure, if this is a dns-issue. resolving localhost and the
hostname is no problem:
---

64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.311 ms

[~] # ping -c 1 storage

my /etc/resolv.conf points to a valid nameserver, everything seems ok,
but where is the Problem?

any hints on this issue?
