After some discussion on IRC today about the current state of affairs, there was agreement on a plan for moving forward with IO::Socket::IP: * The "drop in replacement for IO::Socket::INET" language in the docs will be softened, as that assertion is not sufficiently tested and is a "nice to have" rather than a "must have" feature * IO::Socket::IP (with revised language) will be added to blead ASAP (after PAUSE is back up for a release) so that it can start getting tested as part of the normal blead release cycle * Separately, tests of the "drop in" assertion will continue outside blead, with volunteers testing a monkey-patched IO::Socket::NET that effectively just subclasses IO::Socket::IP This ensures that v5.20.0 will finally have full in-core support for IPv6. If the drop-in testing goes well enough, the "drop in" language in the docs may be restored at some future point, but it will not be a blocking issue for v5.20. -- David Golden <xdg@xdg.me> Take back your inbox! → http://www.bunchmail.com/ Twitter/IRC: @xdgThread Previous | Thread Next
