If you correctly run h2ph on your include files, under perl 5, you should
be able to:

use Socket;
&SOCK_STREAM

to get the correct values.  In those cases (carryovers from perl4) where
the SOCK_STREAM and other constants are hard-coded, change them.  If you
find in the standard perl5 distribution any hard-coded values like these,
please let us know at perl5-porters () nicoh com, or post to comp.lang.perl.
