Hi,

with IO::Socket::IP becoming more and more widespread (it is said to become a 
part of the standard modules shipped with Perl 5.20), I am wondering i should 
switch perl-ldap over to it too?

My idea is to prefer IO::Socket::IP over IO::Socket::INET6 if the former one 
is installed, but fall back to the latter if it isn't.

But there's a downside too:
With IO::Socket::IP, the option Timeout to Net::LDAP->new() will be ignored.

If it wasn't for this change, I would already have switched, as some recent 
versions of Strawberry Perl for Windows broke perl-ldap with IO::Socket::INET6

What's your opinion?

Best
PEter
