IPv6 support

It seems Net::Server cannot listen on an IPv6 interface?

2007/11/07-16:09:13 main (type MySmtpProxyServer) starting! pid(12409) Binding to TCP port 10045 on host ipv6-localhost 2007/11/07-16:09:13 Can't connect to TCP port 10045 on ipv6-localhost [Invalid argument]

It looks like Net::Server uses IO::Socket::INET, which doesn't seem to support IPv6. Any clues how I should proceed for making my Net::Server-derived application usable for IPv4 AND IPv6?

Re: IPv6 support

This patch was written over a year ago, and not much tested, but I thought I should link to it in case anyone else finds it useful.

This is a patch for Net::Server to give it IPv6 support.
