Thanks. Looking around I see that it might be possible to use IO::Socket to obtain an IO::Socket::INET compatible handle in an unponed state. In which case it might bepossible to do the setsockopt() call to make it non-blocking before attempting to open it on Win also. I'll have to have a play with that.
