You could leave it IP agnostic, but then you might consider breaking out the functionality into Net::DNS::Utility, Net::DNS::Utility::IPv6, and Net::DNS::Utility::IPv4. Then, don't specify in the Net::DNS::Utility description that it's for IPv6 :) -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org archives at http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules please send all messages back to modules@perl.orgThread Previous | Thread Next
