.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
Many modules directly create IO::Socket::INET sockets or have it as a
superclass. Because IO::Socket::INET has no support for IPv6 these modules
don't have it either.
.PP
This module tries to make IO::Socket::INET behave like IO::Socket::IP
(with fallback to IO::Socket::INET6) by copying the symbol table from
IO::Socket::IP into IO::Socket::INET.
The original symbol table from IO::Socket::INET is still available in
IO::Socket::INET4.
.PP
This strategy works for Net::SMTP, \s-1LWP\s0 and probably a lot of other modules
too, which don't try to depend too much on the innards of IO::Socket::INET or
on the text representation of \s-1IP\s0 addresses (IPv6 addresses look different than
IPv4 addresses).
