This difference is just due to which version of Perl was built, rather
than which compiler it was built with: change 23200 (incorporated into
5.8.6) switched from Winsock1 (wsock32.lib) to Winsock2 (ws2_32.lib):
http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse?patch=23200
So, for example, ActivePerl 811 (5.8.6) uses ws2_32.lib, but earlier
ActivePerls all use wsock32.lib. (And the cpan testers report cited
above is a 5.8.5 build.)
