    <p>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:</p>
    <p>qw(127.0.0.1 ::1 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)</p>
    <p>I.e. the "words" are quoted for you. Which saves typing, wrist
      ache and time.</p>
