Thanks Tomasz.

In
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=142390&results=a9b6c54a15dcc7fea4b584327a5e1d17
we're looking at how to hide the Socket.xs implementations of inet_pton()
and inet_ntop() in those situations where the Windows implementation of
those 2 functions are being used. (t's a fatal error if both the Windows
and Socket.xs implementations are found.)

If you get  the opportunity to take a look at that ticket, your advice on
how best to achieve that desired outcome would be most welcome.

Cheers,
Rob
