Yes, there is an issue with the older versions of the SDK - not sure if it has ever been fixed. Windows doesn't have headers for inet_ntop() and inet_pton() but they *ARE* included in the .a libraries. There is a fix described here:

I wrote that post and used it to get Socket and Socket6 working on Windows 7 x64 with both 32-bit and 64-bit Strawberry Perl (various versions from 5.16 on).

Not sure how / if this would work with VS2k10 or non-Strawberry, but give it a go and let us know.
