Description-en: glue module to make perl modules IPv6 ready
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.
