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 L<Net::FTP>, L<Net::SMTP>, L<LWP>,...) do not support IPv6 even if the modules for IPv6 sockets L<Socket6>, L<IO::Socket::INET6> are available. This module tries to mitigate this by hotpatching. Currently the following submodules are available: =over 4 =item L<Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6> Makes L<IO::Socket::INET> behave like L<IO::Socket::INET6>, especially make it capable to create IPv6 sockets. This makes L<LWP>, L<Net::SMTP> and others IPv6 capable. =item L<Net::INET6Glue::FTP> Hotpatches L<Net::FTP> to support EPRT and EPSV commands which are needed to deal with FTP over IPv6. Also loads L<Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6>. =back =head1 COPYRIGHT This module and the modules in the Net::INET6Glue Hierarchy distributed together with this module are copyright (c) 2008, Steffen Ullrich.
