Is it possible to upgrade Net::SMTP to use IO::Socket::IP instead?

http://code.activestate.com/lists/perl5-porters/189012/

In the mean time the work around seems to change the global resolve order, use a non IPV6 DNS server for host resolution or to delete the INET6 module on the Perl install. It will get more elegant with Socket::IP according to ActiveState link above. If you don't use IPV6 what about just turning it off on your server desktop, is that allowed or required in your site policy? Might ask your sysadmin.

Thanks for your thoughts !! I learned a lesson late yesterday. As I have made an official switch from Active State to Strawberry Perl I was going through the usual motions of installing packages I thought I needed. Actually Strawberry has more so after a more careful review and only installing those that were not included, my problem is gone! I've made a not to not update any module that's already included in the code install going forward. If I need a more current module, I will instead look into updating the core PERL binaries as well.
