NAME

6       Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6 - make IO::Socket::INET behave like
7       IO::Socket::INET6
8

SYNOPSIS

10        use Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6;
11        use LWP::Simple;
12        print get( 'http://[::1]:80' );
13        print get( 'http://ipv6.google.com' );

DESCRIPTION

16       Many modules directly create IO::Socket::INET sockets or have it as a
17       superclass. Because IO::Socket::INET has no support for IPv6 these
18       modules don't have it either.
19
20       This module tries to make IO::Socket::INET behave like IO::Socket::IP
21       (with fallback to IO::Socket::INET6) by copying the symbol table from
22       IO::Socket::IP into IO::Socket::INET.  The original symbol table from
23       IO::Socket::INET is still available in IO::Socket::INET4.
24
25       This strategy works for Net::SMTP, LWP and probably a lot of other
26       modules too, which don't try to depend too much on the innards of
27       IO::Socket::INET or on the text representation of IP addresses (IPv6
28       addresses look different than IPv4 addresses).
