in thread IO::Socket:INET doesn't attempt to connect

Thanks merlyn++ Not only did that work fine, it also made me realise my error in the long form.

If I make up the parameter names instead of using the ones in the POD, they aren't going to be recognised.

Examine what is said, not who speaks.
1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible
3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
