First part of my message was chopped off for some reason... Very odd, reposting 
again hopefully the hole message posts this time...

Also should ASSP be using IO::Socket::INET6 or IO::Socket::IP?

I think when perl lacked support for IPv6 you had to use the add on module,
IO::Socket::INET6. But it seems that IO::Socket::IP supports both, so why the 
need for 
IO::Socket::INET6?

I am pretty sure the issue I ran into is specific to IO::Socket::INET6. Again I 
am not that 
familiar with perl, but pretty sure I am using and calling that explicitly.  
Its not a conflict 
with IO::Socket::INET6, causing the listeners in my example code to fail. Thus 
the 
same issue with ASSP failing to listen on both IPv4 and IPv6 wildcards.

I am not sure many are even using IO::Socket::INET6. If ASSP code can switch 
from 
IO::Socket::INET6 to IO::Socket::IP that might resolve the issue with wildcard 
listeners 
on IPv4 and IPv6. Otherwise seems it won't be addressed till it is fixed by 
upstream in 
IO::Socket::INET6.

It looks like IO::Socket::INET6 is a dead module, no changes since 2013.

Maybe ASSP should deprecate its usage and switch code to IO::Socket::IP.
