It's probably an old version of perl issue, but that's just a guess.
According to the pod docs in IO::Socket::UNIX in perl 5.6.1 and perl
5.8.0:

  If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed
  to be a "Peer" specification.

Maybe older versions didn't make that same assumption.  ?

Can you mail me (off-list) your /usr/lib/perl5/IO/Socket/UNIX.pm (or
wherever it is)?
