    Hello all,

    I've got a quick question about the Net:IRC module for perl, for some
    strange reason it will never connect to a server (even when using the
    provided examples), a message is echoed out and it continues to run but
    to no avail:

    -----[START]-----
    Can't connect to irz.blitzed.org:6667! at
    /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.5/Net/IRC.pm line 203
    -----[END]-----

    I'm really starting to run out of ideas here, I've been using php for a
    fair while and figured I'd take a quick peeek at what modules perl had
    to offer so as to replace php as my langauge of choice for CLI stuff
    anyway, here's the code to the most basic net:irc example which I can't
    get to work:

    -----[START]-----
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use Net::IRC;
    $irc = new Net::IRC;
    $conn = $irc->newconn (
                                    Nick => 'DaveTEST',
                                    Server => '192.168.1.9'
                                    );
    $irc->start;
    -----[END]-----

    I've tried the above with perl 5.8.2 and 5.8.5, getting the same error
    each time :/ - Any suggestions would be greatley appreciated.
