Seeing the Berkeley sockets calling sequence of the Perl program side-by-side
with the NetIPC calling sequence of the COBOL program would be helpful.

Sounds like the COBOL side isn't actively listening for connections on the same
port that the Perl side is trying to connect to.

You can run SOCKINFO.NET.SYS to verify that the COBOL program is listening to
the expected port.
