NAME

6       Net::INET6Glue - Make common modules IPv6 ready by hotpatching

SYNOPSIS

9        use Net::INET6Glue; # include all glue
10        use LWP;
11        use Net::SMTP;
12        use Net::FTP;
13        ..

DESCRIPTION

16       Net::INET6Glue is a collection of modules to make common modules IPv6
17       ready by hotpatching them.
18
19       Unfortunatly the current state of IPv6 support in perl is that no IPv6
20       support is in the core and that a lot of important modules (like
21       Net::FTP, Net::SMTP, LWP,...) do not support IPv6 even if the modules
22       for IPv6 sockets like Socket6, IO::Socket::IP or IO::Socket::INET6 are
23       available.
24
25       This module tries to mitigate this by hotpatching.  Currently the
26       following submodules are available:
27
28       Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6
29           Makes IO::Socket::INET behave like IO::Socket::IP (with fallback to
30           like IO::Socket::INET6), especially make it capable to create IPv6
31           sockets.  This makes LWP, Net::SMTP and others IPv6 capable.
32
33       Net::INET6Glue::FTP
34           Hotpatches Net::FTP to support EPRT and EPSV commands which are
35           needed to deal with FTP over IPv6. Also loads
36           Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6.
