$ perl6 -e 'say so IO::Socket::INET.new( :host<127.0.0.1>, :port(80));' True perl6 -e 'say so IO::Socket::INET.new( :host<127.0.0.1>, :port(80) :family(3));' True $ perl6 -e 'say so IO::Socket::INET.new( :host<::1>, :port(80) :family(3));' True $ perl6 -e 'say so IO::Socket::INET.new( :host<::1>, :port(80));' Failed to resolve host name in block <unit> at -e line 1 The :host<> of IO::Socket::INET should be agnostic as to IP protocol version. When given a hostname (or IPv*) there is no distinction between the versions. The current behavior will cause mysterious failures and is not consistent.
