This I'm classing as a bug in

  use IO::Socket::IP -register;

Because IO::Socket::new deletes the Domain argument, there is nothing
to tell the chosen subclass what domain the user wanted. This
previously hasn't been a problem because so far there was a 1:1 mapping
from Domain to subclass. Since ::IP wants both AF_INET and AF_INET6,
this presents a problem.
