Ah, right.  So your program has the following:

in the BaseSocket class, a type declaration along the lines of:
	int BaseSocket::Receive(unsigned char *a,int b, int c);
and in your other script:

	char a[10];	/* or some value */
        /* or maybe */
        /* char *a; */
        int temp;
                        /* .... */
        temp =  BaseSocket::Receive(a, b, c);

and it's segfaulting at the call to BaseSocket::Receive().  I'm so
frustrated because I know that I've seen this kind of problem before.  Can
you give us more code.  Perhaps the function that calls Receive, and
the function declaration?

Make sure you visit www.perlmonks.org then.  The monastery is a great
place to learn or improve your Perl.  (So long as you can cope with RTFM
answers if you ask FAQs (it's amazing how many people can't)).
