It is. It used old manual IPV4 perl calls to fix the lack of 
IO::Socket::blocking() on very old perls. Hopefully no-one is using very 
old perls any more (i.e 5.005) and so this should not be a problem. It 
will continue in the old IPV4 way as default anyway (such as on a 
windows box that does not have IO::Socket::INET6 loaded) I even tested 
it on a windows XP box I happen to have running.
