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