.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Net::INET6Glue is a collection of modules to make common modules IPv6 ready
by hotpatching them.
.PP
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, \s-1LWP\s0,...) do not support IPv6 even if the modules for IPv6
sockets like Socket6, IO::Socket::IP or IO::Socket::INET6 are available.
.PP
This module tries to mitigate this by hotpatching.
Currently the following submodules are available:
.IP "Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6" 4
.IX Item "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 \s-1LWP\s0, Net::SMTP and others IPv6 capable.
.IP "Net::INET6Glue::FTP" 4
.IX Item "Net::INET6Glue::FTP"
Hotpatches Net::FTP to support \s-1EPRT\s0 and \s-1EPSV\s0 commands which are needed to
deal with \s-1FTP\s0 over IPv6. Also loads Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6.
