IPC::IDT Argumenmt isn't numeric in subtraction (at LDT.pm line 1131)

Hi,

my code:

  print "[MSGHANDLER] checking for new messages\n";

  my $ldt=new IPC::LDT(handle=>$socket, objectMode=>1);
  ($msg) = $ldt->receive or (print $ldt->{'msg'} && exit
1);

  print "[MSGHANDLER] Received message on socket
$socket\n";

This code is called from an Event 0.81 io watcher, and
$socket is $event->w->fd.

this produces the following output:

[MSGHANDLER] checking for new messages

Argument "^E^D^B" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at
<perlpath>/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/IPC/LDT.pm line 1131.

Argument "^E^D^B" isn't numeric in subtraction (-) at
<perlpath>/lib/site_perl/5.6.0/IPC/LDT.pm line 1131.

[MSHANDLER] Received message on socket GLOB(0x23870)

I wonder if this is the correct method to receive messages
using a combination of Event and IPC::IDT and if so, why I
get this error message. If not, what am I doing wrong?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Alex Farrell.
