11066	Net::DNS (perl module) IPv6 dependencies seem dubious.	ken@…	ken@…	"I don't have IPv6, but I do have it enabled in my kernel.

For Net::DNS IO::Socket::INET6 and its dependency of Socket6  are listed.

Without them, tests pass with the following output:
{{{
t/07-zonefile.t ............ ok
#       Disregarding 9 failed sub-tests
#       $resolver->bgread($udp) background TCP fail
#       $resolver->send(...)    UDP + failed TSIG
#       $resolver->send(...)    TCP + failed TSIG
#       $resolver->bgsend/read  TCP + failed TSIG
#       $resolver->query() failure
#       $resolver->search() failure
#       $resolver->bgsend() failure
#       $resolver->axfr() with TSIG verify
#       verify fail     []
t/08-IPv4.t ................ ok
t/08-IPv6.t ................ skipped: Unable to reach global root nameservers
#       Disregarding 1 failed sub-test
#       fail if no usable hint
}}}
(some other tests skipped for missing dependencies)

Adding those two dependencies does not alter the result. The tests for IO-Socket-INET6 reported
{{{
t/io_multihomed6.t ........ skipped: localhost does not resolve to both 127.0.0.1 and ::1
}}}
although in /etc/hosts I have
{{{
127.0.0.1	localhost.localdomain localhost origin
[ snipped addresses of local machines ] 
::1       localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1   ip6-allnodes
ff02::2   ip6-allrouters
}}}

For the moment I intend to comment these dependencies, unless somebody with an IP6 connection can confirm them."	enhancement	closed	normal	8.4	BOOK	SVN	medium	fixed
