Are you talking about the Perl module IO::Socket? That's one of the standard modules and should already be installed. Are you looking for the actual file? Then the following command will tell you where Perl looks for modules:

Code:

perl -e 'print join("\n",@INC);'

One of the listed directories should contain IO/Socket.pm which is the one you're looking for.

I don't see it

Does the following return an error?

Code:

perl -e 'use IO::Socket'

If the module's not there, I guess there's something wrong with your Perl installation. In any case, modules can be found at http://www.cpan.org, and it is more convenient to install them using the CPAN shell (use Google).
