Of course, if you add 'use warnings;' to the test script the warning
shows up. Sorry about that!
I will investigate further.

Hi,
I was unable to reproduce this with the following script, either
from the use line or by duplicating the above comparison:
$ cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use Net::Ping;
use Socket;
print $Socket::VERSION . "\n";
print $Socket::VERSION >= 1.94;
print "\n";
Please could you confirm whether this script prints any warnings
for you, and if not, can you provide a reduced version of the program
that you're running that exhibits this behaviour (ideally one which does
not require any external dependencies or configuration).
