Peter, My understanding is that IPv6 support is added to IO::Socket by a separate module, IO::Socket::INET6, which in turn uses Socket6 which is an add-on module to the standard Socket module. So where LDAP.pm now calls IO::Socket::INET, it would need to call IO::Socket::INET6. The new INET6 Domain argument already defaults to AF_UNSPEC, so I don't believe that needs to be specified; though, for testing purposes, it might be nice if Net::LDAP externalised it. Any, or all, of the above might be total rubbish... :) Steve.
