Applying a patch provided to CPAN but not applied by the maintainer fixes the problem. #43071: Patch: Net::Gen (Net-ext) Gen.xs patch for Perl v5.10.0 http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=43071 I've provided a packet with the patch applied to OBS: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jpetermp/openSUSE_Factory I've tested with the same result in openSUSE 11.2 x86_64 and openSUSE Factory milestone7 i586 and the patch resolves in both. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install perl-Net-ext with YAST2 from Factory or openSUSE 11.2 2. Issue the command: perl -w and then: use Net::TCP; Actual Results: peterp@linux-8o1o:~> perl -w use Net::TCP; panic: no address for 'Net::TCP::TCP_RPTR2RXT' in 'Gen.c' at /usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/i586-linux-thread-multi/DynaLoader.pm line 226.
