Trying to install perl lwp module, I get this error during the process in perl shell Can't connect: IO::Socket::INET: Bad hostname 'server045.domain.com:41781' This is a basic Centos 5 box
Maybe it's because of the port following the hostname. Googling for this messages shows things like: Without further analysis I'd guess that in this Script the port was not given as peer port parameter, but added via : .
