In boolean context, the first which returns a (true) value is returned,
so if recvstamp is finding something, that is used, otherwise the
timestamp method of the header is called.  The latter case will probably
only be used when the message is constructed by the program itself:
otherwise the received-timestamp is usually present.

You are correct, this should simply be
   my $head = shift->head;
The lazy data loader will read the file.  Fix will be in next release.
