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.
