NAME
       IO::Socket::INET6 - Object interface for AF_INET|AF_INET6 domain
       sockets
SYNOPSIS
           use IO::Socket::INET6;
DESCRIPTION
       "IO::Socket::INET6" provides an object interface to creating and using
       sockets in either AF_INET or AF_INET6 domains. It is built upon the
       IO::Socket interface and inherits all the methods defined by
       IO::Socket.
CONSTRUCTOR
       new ( [ARGS] )
           Creates an "IO::Socket::INET6" object, which is a reference to a
           newly created symbol (see the "Symbol" package). "new" optionally
           takes arguments, these arguments are in key-value pairs.
           In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by IO::Socket,
           "IO::Socket::INET6" provides.
               Domain      Address family               AF_INET | AF_INET6 | AF_UNSPEC (default)
               PeerAddr    Remote host address          <hostname>[:<port>]
               PeerHost    Synonym for PeerAddr
               PeerPort    Remote port or service       <service>[(<no>)] | <no>
               PeerFlow    Remote flow information
               PeerScope   Remote address scope
               LocalAddr   Local host bind address      hostname[:port]
               LocalHost   Synonym for LocalAddr
               LocalPort   Local host bind port         <service>[(<no>)] | <no>
               LocalFlow   Local host flow information
               LocalScope  Local host address scope
               Proto       Protocol name (or number)    "tcp" | "udp" | ...
               Type        Socket type                  SOCK_STREAM | SOCK_DGRAM | ...
               Listen      Queue size for listen
               ReuseAddr   Set SO_REUSEADDR before binding
               Reuse       Set SO_REUSEADDR before binding (deprecated, prefer ReuseAddr)
               ReusePort   Set SO_REUSEPORT before binding
               Broadcast   Set SO_BROADCAST before binding
               Timeout     Timeout value for various operations
               MultiHomed  Try all adresses for multi-homed hosts
               Blocking    Determine if connection will be blocking mode
           If "Listen" is defined then a listen socket is created, else if the
           socket type, which is derived from the protocol, is SOCK_STREAM
           then connect() is called.
           Although it is not illegal, the use of "MultiHomed" on a socket
           which is in non-blocking mode is of little use. This is because the
           first connect will never fail with a timeout as the connect call
           will not block.
           The "PeerAddr" can be a hostname,  the IPv6-address on the
           "2001:800:40:2a05::10" form , or the IPv4-address on the
           "213.34.234.245" form.  The "PeerPort" can be a number or a
           symbolic service name.  The service name might be followed by a
           number in parenthesis which is used if the service is not known by
           the system.  The "PeerPort" specification can also be embedded in
           the "PeerAddr" by preceding it with a ":", and closing the IPv6
           address on bracktes "[]" if necessary:
           "124.678.12.34:23","[2a05:345f::10]:23","any.server.com:23".
           If "Domain" is not given, AF_UNSPEC is assumed, that is, both
           AF_INET and AF_INET6 will be both considered when resolving DNS
           names. AF_INET6 is prioritary.  If you guess you are in trouble not
           reaching the peer,(the service is not available via AF_INET6 but
           AF_INET) you can either try Multihomed (try any address/family
           until reach) or concrete your address "family" (AF_INET, AF_INET6).
           If "Proto" is not given and you specify a symbolic "PeerPort" port,
           then the constructor will try to derive "Proto" from the service
           name.  As a last resort "Proto" "tcp" is assumed.  The "Type"
           parameter will be deduced from "Proto" if not specified.
           If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed
           to be a "PeerAddr" specification.
           If "Blocking" is set to 0, the connection will be in nonblocking
           mode.  If not specified it defaults to 1 (blocking mode).
           Examples:
              $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',
                                            PeerPort => 'http(80)',
                                            Proto    => 'tcp');
           Suppose either you have no IPv6 connectivity or www.perl.org has no
           http service on IPv6. Then,
           (Trying all address/families until reach)
              $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',
                                            PeerPort => 'http(80)',
                                            Multihomed => 1 ,
                                            Proto    => 'tcp');
           (Concrete to IPv4 protocol)
              $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'www.perl.org',
                                            PeerPort => 'http(80)',
                                            Domain => AF_INET ,
                                            Proto    => 'tcp');

              $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerAddr => 'localhost:smtp(25)');
              $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(Listen    => 5,
                                            LocalAddr => 'localhost',
                                            LocalPort => 9000,
                                            Proto     => 'tcp');
              $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new('[::1]:25');
              $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerPort  => 9999,
                                            PeerAddr  => Socket6::inet_ntop(AF_INET6,in6addr_broadcast),
                                            Proto     => udp,
                                            LocalAddr => 'localhost',
                                            Broadcast => 1 )
                                        or die "Can't bind : $@\n";

           As of VERSION 1.18 all IO::Socket objects have autoflush turned on
           by default. This was not the case with earlier releases.
