Socket6 won"t install

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:

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

(Worked for me.)

Cheers,

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".
