[Dxspider-support] To qw or not to qw?

Both are correct(ish), the qw() requires less use of the various 
punctuation / shift keys :-) but I am surprised (looking again) that 
your qw() works as expected. The 'qw' stands for "quote words" and this 
means the qw() should be:

qw(127.0.0.1 ::1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)

I.e. the "words" are quoted for you. Which saves typing, wrist ache and 
time.
