Yeah, so it seems. socks4a to be precise, never heard of it. It could complicate things a lot. It seems that it supports socks5 too. More info on http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ

So, how do you make your application pass the hostname directly to Tor? You can't use SOCKS 4, since SOCKS 4 proxies require an IP from the client (a web browser is an example of a SOCKS client). Even though SOCKS 5 can accept either an IP or a hostname, most applications supporting SOCKS 5 try to resolve the name before passing it to the SOCKS proxy. SOCKS 4a, however, always accepts a hostname: You'll need to use SOCKS 4a.

It looks as if you might have to write a module in XS since there's no support for that protocol in perl. Might have to use socat. I've never really cared about that, but it looks intresting suddently
