Re: [perl #83866] IO::Socket::INET Couldn't create socket.

[Moritz Lenz]

Today I pushed a completely new socket implementation, which is much
closer to p5's IO::Socket::INET, and IMHO has a much saner interface.

For a client, write

my $c = IO::Socket::INET.new(:host('http://rakudo.org/'), :port(80));
# no separate .open call necessary.

For a server, write

my $s = IO::Socket::INET.new(
           :localhost('127.0.0.1'),
           :localport(1024),
           :listen
);
# no separate calls to .bind or .listen necessary.

I hope this also addresses your problem. I've just pushed a patch for
LWP::Simple that adopts this new socket usage, and passes all tests.

Cheers,
Moritz
