Net::IRC Woes

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 pe

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.

Are you sure that you want to connect to an IRC server in your local
area network (192.168.1.9)?

Yep, I run an ircd on one of my internal development servers. I get the
same error with every server I've tried, irc.blitzed.org, freenode,
Rizon etc etc.

Hm, maybe you could try POE::Component::IRC.
I've heard a lot good of this one.

Are you sure that you are able to connect to these hosts from your
machine on port 6667 at all? Have you tried to check it with (e.g)
telnet?

Yep, I can connect perfectly. Like I said, I've tried on various hosts
to no avail. I've even tried re-compiling perl with and without
ithreads enabled.
