 Hi!

 I patched IO-Socket-INET6:

 http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/web-cpan/IO-Socket-INET6/trunk/

 This is because it now generates several warnings and failed tests on
 Mandriva cooker and on other platforms:

 * http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=36889

 * http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=36952

 Now I'd like my modifications to be integrated into the CPAN version.
 However, it's been unmaintained for over three years, and the author
 hasn't maintained any other modules since its latest release. There
 are several bugs on rt.cpan.org which were not taken care of.

 Rafael, if you're still there, please pull my modifications from the
 Subversion repository and upload them as a new module. I can also give
 you permissions to commit there once you have registered with
 http://developer.berlios.de/ . Alternatively, please give me a
 co-maintainer status for IO-Socket-INET6.


Due to the fact I did not hear from the original author for 2 weeks,
I'd like to ask the CPAN admins to give me (SHLOMIF on the CPAN) a
co-maintainer status so I can upload my modifications (and future
ones) as a new distribution.

Regards,

 Shlomi Fish

Some people go on holiday for more than 2 weeks.
