Hi,

What is the status on IPv6 support for libwww-perl?

I have installed the w3c validator on my computer and it baulks at any
IPv6 address, whether they are of the numerical form, or resolve to an
IPv6 address, such as http://ipv6.google.com/

Looking in the bug database of the validator:

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=837

the finger is pointed at lwp, but the lwp bug ticket never seems to
have been closed.

Does anyone have a patch that will do the job and are we likely to see
this in an official release?
