None of this makes any sense to me at the moment. Please post your 
Listeners.pm.

What distro are you using and what kernel (out of interest). More 
importantly: what version of perl (perl -v) do you have?

Did you do anything with IO::Socket?

Linux TCP sockets (SOCK_STREAM) are not permanent entities they 
certainly cannot be maintained over reboot. Also I set 'Re-use' on all 
my sockets (especially the ones in Listener.pm).

I have never heard of this problem with the solution/work around that 
you suggest before.

The only thing I can suggest is that you are trying to start two 
listeners on the same port or there is some other conflict in parameters 
there.
