I cannot test it, but I would have assumed it is already in
provided modules that Net::LDAP uses (IO::Socket e.g.) support it.
Are there pieces of code in perl-ldap that should support IPv6,
but corrently don't?
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.
Yes, that is correct.
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... :)
I have not looked at INET6 and I do not have easy access to test
INET6, but if someone wants to send a patch then I would gladly
incorporate it.
I assume AF_UNSPEC would cause the library to do a v6 or a v4 connect ?
Graham.
