Subject:	IO::Socket::INET6 vs IO::Socket::INET

Hi,

I have been doing work on trying to adapt a program that has been
using IO::Socket::INET up until now to use IO::Socket::INET6. In doing
so I had a few questions. I hope this is the right place to ask them.

 - Currently IPv6 support is provided through IO::Socket::INET6 as
opposed to being directly part of IO::Socket::INET. Are there any
reasons why the IPv6 support could not be migrated up to the package
being extended. Is this also something that is likely to be done only
once IPv6 is the norm?

 - In converting an application, that has been using IO::Socket::INET
to use IO::Socket::INET6, are there any issues that people have
encountered or breakages that I should watch out for? Assuming an IPv4
address is probably one point, but I would be curious to know if there
are others.
