IO::Socket::INET 1.27
IO::Socket       1.28

I'm having trouble opening a listener TCP socket. It seems that
the library is trying to resolve something it rather shouldn't --
a stringified hashref. Here's a minimal test case.

% cat > t ; perl t
use IO::Socket;

my $sock = IO::Socket::INET->new({
        Listen    => 1,
        Proto     => ‘tcp’,
        LocalAddr => ‘127.0.0.1:9092’,
    }) or die “Socket error: $!\n”;
^D
Socket error: Invalid argument
%
...
# tcpdump -i ppp0 port 53 &
tcpdump: listening on ppp0
...
% perl t

Look at the DNS query.


Here's my perl -V:
