Problem creating socket... !!

[Sri dude Rao]

I'm running CGI program (written using perl) with Tomcat.
Cgi program written in perl has a telnet operation. It is trying to connect to a port on a remote host. When i run the perl script as a standalone, it works perfectly. when i try to run the same script with tomcat server i am getting the following error.

Mar 31, 2005 9:37:21 PM org.apache.catalina.core.ApplicationContext log
INFO: cgi: runCGI (stderr) roblem creating socket: Unknown error at C:/Perl/sit
e/lib/AOLserver/CtrlPort.pm line 125

ctrlport.pm is the perl module and line 125 in the module is my $t = Net::Telnet->new(%options);


METHOD

############################################################
sub new {
############################################################
my ($class, @options) = @_;

my %options = (
Timeout => 20,
Port => '3456',
Host => 'localhost',
Prompt => '/Ok/',
User => '',
Password => '',
@options);


Any suggestion or solution ?


Thanks.
