I have been using XML::Feed on CentOS and I am sporadically getting this in an endless loop

Use of uninitialized value $fam_listen in numeric ne (!=) at /usr/shar
+e/perl5/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 226.

I do have the latest IO::Socket (edit: but not the latest version of IO::Socket::INET6) and I tried removing IPV6 from @INC in a BEGIN but no joy. Any thoughts on troubleshooting?

SOLVED: This is jZed. jZed posts on Perlmonks before checking if he has the latest version of the problem module. Don't be like jZed. Updating to IO::Socket::INET6 version 2.72 solved my problem. Another way to solve it, as Corion said below - use IO::Socket::SSL 'inet4' prior to using LWP or XML::Feed or other modules using sockets if you want to force use of IPV4 rather than IPV6.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
