NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

        use Net::INET6Glue; # include all glue
        use LWP;
        use Net::SMTP;
        use Net::FTP;
        ..

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.
