Oh Wise Ones,

I've somehow managed to mess up my PERL environment by i believe installing a newer module. The issue I am fighting is with sending SMTP emails. Where running the same script on one server works and on another it fails.

With debug enabled the working server shows:

 Net::SMTP>>> Net::SMTP(2.31)
 Net::SMTP>>> Net::Cmd(2.29)
 Net::SMTP>>> Exporter(5.67)
 Net::SMTP>>> IO::Socket::INET(1.31)
 Net::SMTP>>> IO::Socket(1.32)
 Net::SMTP>>> IO::Handle(1.31)
 Net::SMTP=GLOB(0x1d2294c)<<< 220 mailhost.domain.com Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service ready at Wed, 20 May 2015 08:43:09 -0500

Where on the server where I updated modules it shows:

 Net::SMTP>>> Net::SMTP(3.06)
 Net::SMTP>>> Net::Cmd(3.06)
 Net::SMTP>>> Exporter(5.67)
 Net::SMTP>>> IO::Socket::INET6(2.69)
 Net::SMTP>>> IO::Socket(1.32)
 Net::SMTP>>> IO::Handle(1.31)
 Net::SMTP: Net::Cmd::_is_closed(): unexpected EOF on command channel: at C:/Dev_Tools/PERL_32Bit/perl/site/lib/Email/Sender/Transport/SMTP.pm line 10 6.

To the best of my debugging abilities I'm thinking the issue is the new modules is trying to use IPV6:

Net::SMTP>>> IO::Socket::INET6(2.69)

Is there a simple way I can force it to instead use IPV4 ?

Thanks in Advance!
