I re-read the bug queue http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=36554 and apparently there are still people having this problem after 1.38, but your patch seems to be against something older (because it doesn't have the check against gethostbyname("example.xyz")), so we need to double check.
If your ISP doesn't resolve example.xyz but does perl.bv, it's surprising but i could understand, that changing the check hostname would make more sense.
