I have a machine that gets IPv6 router advertisements, but IPv6 isn't correctly
routed. When I run the following code:
IO::Socket::INET.new(:host<feather.perl6.nl>, :port(3000))
rakudo tries to connect to feather.perl6.nl:3000 over IPv6, which doesn't work.
When it doesn't work, it doesn't try IPv4; it just fails. If I specify the
socket family:
IO::Socket::INET.new(:host<feather.perl6.nl>, :port(3000), :family(2)) # 2
is INET
...the family parameter is not respected. I've disabled IPv6 on the machine
for the time being, but I figured that others might run into this situation.
