NAME
       Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6 - make IO::Socket::INET behave like IO::Socket::INET6

SYNOPSIS
	use Net::INET6Glue::INET_is_INET6;
	use LWP::Simple;
	print get( 'http://[::1]:80' );
	print get( 'http://ipv6.google.com' );

DESCRIPTION
       Many modules directly create IO::Socket::INET sockets or have it as a superclass. Because IO::Socket::INET has no support for IPv6 these
       modules don't have it either.

       This module tries to make IO::Socket::INET behave like IO::Socket::INET6 by copying the symbol table from IO::Socket::INET6 into
       IO::Socket::INET.  The original symbol table from IO::Socket::INET is still available in IO::Socket::INET4.

       This strategy works for Net::SMTP, LWP and probably a lot of other modules too, which don't try to depend too much on the innards of
       IO::Socket::INET or on the text representation of IP addresses (IPv6 addresses look different than IPv4 addresses).
