I am trying to send form data to an email address through a perl
script. I am getting the error message "Can't loacate loadable object
for Module Socket in @INC (@INC contains: sys:perllib.)........" and
it errors out there. I am using Novell Netware 6 Servers. Has anyone
seen this issue and if so any info would be greatly appreciated.

See the thread 'Local install of modules - no root; no telnet' earlier this
month in this ng about
this. I had the same problem. Basically it means one of the modules can't find
either a .so or .xs
file - the module will have to be installed by root, or you will have to figure
out what directory
to copy those files to.

Good so far...

Nonsense. MakeMaker *already knows* what directory to copy those files
to. There's nothing for the user to figure out. Trying to micromanage
the installation process by specifying each and every directory will
make you a Rogaine user in a hurry.
Nor does the module have to be installed by root. Any ordinary user can
install a module, by following the directions found in "perldoc
perlmodinstall" - essentially, by specifying the appropriate PREFIX when
they run Makefile.PL.

Hmm. Interesting. Can you tell me then, why in my earlier post, to which you
replied a few times,
the install script doesn't work? I did have a 'PREFIX' set pointing to my
PerlMods directory, and it
still would not install. And believe me, I have read 'perlmodinstall' and am
trying to follow their
example:
' C. BUILD
~ Go into the newly-created directory and type:
~ perl Makefile.PL
~ make test
~ or
~ perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/my/perl_directory
~ to install it locally. (Remember that if you do this, you'll have to
~ put "use lib "/my/perl_directory";" near the top of the program that
~ is to use this module.
~ D. INSTALL
~ While still in that directory, type:
~ make install
~ Make sure you have the appropriate permissions to install the module
~ in your Perl 5 library directory. Often, you'll need to be root.
'
So when they say, 'Often, you'll need to be root.' are they wrong? Or am I just
not understanding this?

I can't say for certain why it failed, without seeing the output from
the build process.
What I can say is, you specified both PREFIX and a bunch of fine-grained
directory options. The fine-grained options didn't make much sense -
there were some that applied only to core modules and therefore wouldn't
be used by the CPAN module you were trying to install. And some that
would be needed if you wanted to completely specify the directory layout
for a CPAN module were missing.

What's to understand? It's simple - Regardless of where you install to,
you need to be a user and/or a member of a group that can write there.
For the default library dir, that means you need to be root.
