	Sure; MIMEd.

	BTW, I choose to use IO::Socket::IP (which I also suggest for
	adding to Recommends:) instead of IO::Socket::INET6, as the
	former is expected to end up in the Perl “core”.

	I’ve briefly tested the change.  For instance, with 0.56-4:

$ perl zkgqj6rkxouaqmkzrhqukdem6d.perl 
Can't connect to display `violet.siamics.net:1': Invalid argument at /usr/share/perl5/X11/Protocol.pm line 2270.
$ 

	0.56-5, no IO::Socket::IP installed:

$ perl zkgqj6rkxouaqmkzrhqukdem6d.perl 
Can't connect to display `violet.siamics.net:1': Invalid argument at /usr/share/perl5/X11/Protocol.pm line 2270.
$ 

	0.56-5, IO::Socket::IP:

$ perl zkgqj6rkxouaqmkzrhqukdem6d.perl 
_NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE → ["a\1\0\0", 4, 32, 0]
_NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK → ["\16\0\xA0\0", 33, 32, 0]
_NET_WM_NAME → ["Openbox", 306, 8, 0]
WM_CLASS → ["", 31, 8, 0]
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR → ["\2\0\0\0", 33, 32, 0]
WM_LOCALE_NAME → ["C", 31, 8, 0]
