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.
