IO::Select->new() causes error

I'm getting the following error from a mod_perl script:

[Tue Aug 30 11:27:52 2005] [error] Can't call method "new" without a
package or object reference at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i686-linux/Net/DNS/Resolver/Base.pm line
635.

Line 635 of Base.pm is:  my $sel = IO::Select->new($sock);


I've included a simple test script below, that just calls IO::Select->new()
directly and has the same problem:

[Tue Aug 30 11:57:03 2005] [error] Can't call method "new" without a
package or object reference at /www/thankyou-v1.focalex.com/htdocs/tmp.mpl
line 13.


The same code works fine on another server.  It also works fine not under
mod_perl, and from the command line.


I've checked the archives, but the only suggestion I found, from several
years ago, was to upgrade to 1.24.

Both servers are running Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) mod_perl/1.29 on Linux
2.4.20-28.7smp, and perl5.005_03.


Any ideas what is causing this problem?


thanks,
Ronald
