in reply to UDP and IO::Socket::INET

Erm, UDP is connectionless. There's no handshake or anything going on, you're just getting an endpoint which can be used to send datagrams (and if you look at the source of IO::Socket::INET it doesn't call connect unless it's a stream (i.e. TCP) socket).

    Arrrgh... I got a bit caught up in the results to actually think about the problem. Thanks for pointing out the obvious.
