Net::INET6Glue is a collection of modules to make common modules
|
|
IPv6 ready by hotpatching them.
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the current state of IPv6 support in perl is that no
|
|
IPv6 support is in the core and that a lot of important modules
|
|
(like Net::FTP, Net::SMTP, LWP,...) do not support IPv6 even if the
|
|
modules for IPv6 sockets Socket6, IO::Socket::INET6 are available.
|
|
|
|
Net::INET6Glue is a hack to make more of Perl IPv6 able. This is
|
|
partly done by replacing IO::Socket::INET with IO::Socket::INET6
|
|
and by adding IPv6 Protocol functionality to Net::FTP. Works for
|
|
Net::SMTP, LWP, Net::FTP and probably others too.
