Net::NTP 1.4
Reading the code, it looks like you use NTP_ADJ to convert between Unix Epoch and NTP epoch.
It does not seem to account for the NTP era - and while 2036 seemed a distant future in Y2K,
half that time has elapsed :-)
See https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/y2k.html for the NTP era. Or with prettier pictures:

You may also wish to consider IO::Socket::IP rather than IO::Socket::INET6, as it is the current
Perl standard for protocol-independent network I/O. IO:Socket::INET6 is in legacy status
