A bug that prevented the IO::Socket::protocol() accessor
from ever returning the correct value has been corrected.
+IO::Socket::connect now uses non-blocking IO instead of alarm()
+to do connect timeouts.
+
+IO::Socket::accept now uses select() instead of alarm() for doing
+timeouts.
+
+IO::Socket::INET->new now sets $! correctly on failure. $@ is
+still set for backwards compatability.
