I am using Strawberry on WinXP. I need to test some IPv6 connectivity
but can't get Socket6 to install. It all boils down to two errors during
the compile stage.

Socket6.o:Socket6.c:(.text+0xa47): undefined reference to `inet_pton'
Socket6.o:Socket6.c:(.text+0xd11): undefined reference to `inet_ntop'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

How do I resolve this problem?

Applying this patch to Socket6.xs should fix the problem:

###########################
--- Socket6.xs_orig Mon Dec 13 21:33:48 2010
+++ Socket6.xs Mon Dec 13 21:40:56 2010
[at] [at] -101,6 +101,11 [at] [at]
#define HAVE_INET_PTON 1
#endif

+#ifdef __MINGW32__
+#include "inet_ntop.c"
+#include "inet_pton.c"
+#endif
+
#ifndef HAVE_PL_SV_UNDEF
#define PL_sv_undef sv_undef
#endif

##########################

(Worked for me.)

Cheers,
Rob

How do I insert that in the middle of an install? CPAN is downloading a
fresh copy of the source each time it runs.

You cannot do it using the "perl -MCPAN" shell. Instead, download the source
archive, unpack it, patch it, and run "perl Makefile.PL", "make", "make
test" and "make install".
