Summary : Make common modules IPv6 ready by hotpatching
Description :
the Net::INET6Glue manpage is a collection of modules to make common
modules IPv6 ready by hotpatching them.
Unfortunatly 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 the
Net::FTP manpage, the Net::SMTP manpage, the LWP manpage,...) do not
support IPv6 even if the modules for IPv6 sockets like the Socket6 manpage,
the IO::Socket::IP manpage or the IO::Socket::INET6 manpage are available.
This module tries to mitigate this by hotpatching. Currently the following
submodules are available:
* the Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6 manpage
Makes the IO::Socket::INET manpage behave like the IO::Socket::IP manpage
(with fallback to like the IO::Socket::INET6 manpage), especially make it
capable to create IPv6 sockets. This makes the LWP manpage, the Net::SMTP
manpage and others IPv6 capable.
* the Net::INET6Glue::FTP manpage
Hotpatches the Net::FTP manpage to support EPRT and EPSV commands which
are needed to deal with FTP over IPv6. Also loads the
Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6 manpage.
