Greetings,

I have code. 

#!/usr/bin/perl

BEGIN { unshift @INC, "/home/neil/perl5/lib/perl5" }

use strict;
use warnings;
use Socket qw( getaddrinfo getnameinfo );

[download]

I get this error. 

"getaddrinfo" is not exported by the Socket module
 "getnameinfo" is not exported by the Socket module
Can't continue after import errors at /home/neil/bin/ptr line 7.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at /home/neil/bin/ptr line 7.

This is perl 5.10.1. The default installed Socket version is 1.82. I installed a later version of Socket (see BEGIN), v2.0006. Aren't these sub in Socket?

update

I'm not set on this path. My goal is to find a host name from an IP address that may be IPV4 or IPV6. I cannot know ahead of time which IP version might be presented.
