According to your version dump you have IO v1.25_6.

According to the below, I have IO-1.25, which reports itself as 1.28:

There isn't a v1.25_6 on cpan!

And according to the versions dumps, I have IO::Socket 1.36, and you have 1.34, but according to search.cpan, the latest version available is "Module Version: 1.31 Source Latest Release: IO-1.31-TRIAL".

At this point I think I'm going to rely on wget.
