The article seems to say that the problem is with the
WSASocket() API only, not with the socket() API.
Do you think Perl is using the WSA API internally?
I wouldn't think so, because Winsock 2 is not installed
with Win95, it needs to be installed separately.
Also if this was the problem, then the patch for non-
blocking connect that went into LWP::Parallel 2.51
would also fail on WinNT. But I haven't yet heard
about that happening. Could you please run
LWP::Parallel and/or PoCo::Client::UserAgent tests
on WinNT and tell me what happens?
