"IPv6" : ( $sock->sockdomain == PF_INET ) ? "IPv4" : "unknown"; printf "Connected to google via %s\n", $familyname; =head1 DESCRIPTION This module provides a protocol-independent way to use IPv4 and IPv6 sockets, intended as a replacement for L. Most constructor arguments and methods are provided in a backward-compatible way. For a list of known differences, see the C INCOMPATIBILITIES section below. It uses the C function to convert hostnames and service names or port numbers into sets of possible addresses to connect to or listen on. This allows it to work for IPv6 where the system supports it, while still falling back to IPv4-only on systems which don't. =head1 REPLACING C DEFAULT BEHAVIOUR By placing C<-register> in the import list to C, it will register itself with L as the class that handles C. It will also ask to handle C as well, provided that constant is available. Changing C's default behaviour means that calling the C constructor with either C or C as the C parameter will yield an C object. use IO::Socket::IP -register; my $sock = IO::Socket->new( Domain => PF_INET6, LocalHost => "::1", Listen => 1, ) or die "Cannot create socket - $IO::Socket::errstr\n"; print "Created a socket of type " . ref($sock) . "\n"; Note that C<-register> is a global setting that applies to the entire program; it cannot be applied only for certain callers, removed, or limited by lexical scope. =cut sub import { my $pkg = shift; my @symbols; foreach ( @_ ) { if( $_ eq "-register" ) { IO::Socket::IP::_ForINET->register_domain( AF_INET ); IO::Socket::IP::_ForINET6->register_domain( $AF_INET6 ) if defined $AF_INET6; } else { push @symbols, $_; } } @_ = ( $pkg, @symbols ); goto &IO::Socket::import; } # Convenient capability test function { my $can_disable_v6only; sub CAN_DISABLE_V6ONLY { return $can_disable_v6only if defined $can_disable_v6only; socket my $testsock, Socket::PF_INET6(), SOCK_STREAM, 0 or die "Cannot socket(PF_INET6) - $!"; if( setsockopt $testsock, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY, 0 ) { if( $^O eq "dragonfly") { # dragonflybsd 6.4 lies about successfully turning this off if( getsockopt $testsock, IPPROTO_IPV6, IPV6_V6ONLY ) { return $can_disable_v6only = 0; } } return $can_disable_v6only = 1; } elsif( $! == EINVAL || $! == EOPNOTSUPP ) { return $can_disable_v6only = 0; } else { die "Cannot setsockopt() - $!"; } } } =head1 CONSTRUCTORS =cut =head2 new $sock = IO::Socket::IP->new( %args ) Creates a new C object, containing a newly created socket handle according to the named arguments passed. The recognised arguments are: =over 8 =item PeerHost => STRING =item PeerService => STRING Hostname and service name for the peer to C to. The service name may be given as a port number, as a decimal string. =item PeerAddr => STRING =item PeerPort => STRING For symmetry with the accessor methods and compatibility with C, these are accepted as synonyms for C and C respectively. =item PeerAddrInfo => ARRAY Alternate form of specifying the peer to C to. This should be an array of the form returned by C. This parameter takes precedence over the C, C, C and C arguments. =item LocalHost => STRING =item LocalService => STRING Hostname and service name for the local address to C to. =item LocalAddr => STRING =item LocalPort => STRING For symmetry with the accessor methods and compatibility with C, these are accepted as synonyms for C and C respectively. =item LocalAddrInfo => ARRAY Alternate form of specifying the local address to C to. This should be an array of the form returned by C. This parameter takes precedence over the C, C, C and C arguments. =item Family => INT The address family to pass to C (e.g. C, C). Normally this will be left undefined, and C will search using any address family supported by the system. =item Type => INT The socket type to pass to C (e.g. C, C). Normally defined by the caller; if left undefined C may attempt to infer the type from the service name. =item Proto => STRING or INT The IP protocol to use for the socket (e.g. C<'tcp'>, C, C<'udp'>,C). Normally this will be left undefined, and either C or the kernel will choose an appropriate value. May be given either in string name or numeric form. =item GetAddrInfoFlags => INT More flags to pass to the C function. If not supplied, a default of C will be used. These flags will be combined with C if the C argument is given. For more information see the documentation about C in the L module. =item Listen => INT If defined, puts the socket into listening mode where new connections can be accepted using the C method. The value given is used as the C queue size. =item ReuseAddr => BOOL If true, set the C sockopt =item ReusePort => BOOL If true, set the C sockopt (not all OSes implement this sockopt) =item Broadcast => BOOL If true, set the C sockopt =item Sockopts => ARRAY An optional array of other socket options to apply after the three listed above. The value is an ARRAY containing 2- or 3-element ARRAYrefs. Each inner array relates to a single option, giving the level and option name, and an optional value. If the value element is missing, it will be given the value of a platform-sized integer 1 constant (i.e. suitable to enable most of the common boolean options). For example, both options given below are equivalent to setting C. Sockopts => [ [ SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR ], [ SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, pack( "i", 1 ) ], ] =item V6Only => BOOL If defined, set the C sockopt when creating C sockets to the given value. If true, a listening-mode socket will only listen on the C addresses; if false it will also accept connections from C addresses. If not defined, the socket option will not be changed, and default value set by the operating system will apply. For repeatable behaviour across platforms it is recommended this value always be defined for listening-mode sockets. Note that not all platforms support disabling this option. Some, at least OpenBSD and MirBSD, will fail with C if you attempt to disable it. To determine whether it is possible to disable, you may use the class method if( IO::Socket::IP->CAN_DISABLE_V6ONLY ) { ... } else { ... } If your platform does not support disabling this option but you still want to listen for both C and C connections you will have to create two listening sockets, one bound to each protocol. =item MultiHomed This C-style argument is ignored, except if it is defined but false. See the C INCOMPATIBILITIES section below. However, the behaviour it enables is always performed by C. =item Blocking => BOOL If defined but false, the socket will be set to non-blocking mode. Otherwise it will default to blocking mode. See the NON-BLOCKING section below for more detail. =item Timeout => NUM If defined, gives a maximum time in seconds to block per C call when in blocking mode. If missing, no timeout is applied other than that provided by the underlying operating system. When in non-blocking mode this parameter is ignored. Note that if the hostname resolves to multiple address candidates, the same timeout will apply to each connection attempt individually, rather than to the operation as a whole. Further note that the timeout does not apply to the initial hostname resolve operation, if connecting by hostname. This behaviour is copied inspired by C; for more fine grained control over connection timeouts, consider performing a nonblocking connect directly. =back If neither C nor C hints are provided, a default of C and C respectively will be set, to maintain compatibility with C. Other named arguments that are not recognised are ignored. If neither C nor any hosts or addresses are passed, nor any C<*AddrInfo>, then the constructor has no information on which to decide a socket family to create. In this case, it performs a C call with the C flag, no host name, and a service name of C<"0">, and uses the family of the first returned result. If the constructor fails, it will set C<$IO::Socket::errstr> and C<$@> to an appropriate error message; this may be from C<$!> or it may be some other string; not every failure necessarily has an associated C value. =head2 new (one arg) $sock = IO::Socket::IP->new( $peeraddr ) As a special case, if the constructor is passed a single argument (as opposed to an even-sized list of key/value pairs), it is taken to be the value of the C parameter. This is parsed in the same way, according to the behaviour given in the C AND C PARSING section below. =cut sub new { my $class = shift; my %arg = (@_ == 1) ?

This may be useful in cases where it is required, for backward-compatibility, to have a real object of C type instead of C. The new object will wrap the same underlying socket filehandle as the original, so care should be taken not to continue to use both objects concurrently. Ideally the original C<$sock> should be discarded after this method is called.

When in non-blocking mode, the socket will not be set up by the time the constructor returns, because the underlying C syscall would otherwise have to block. The non-blocking behaviour is an extension of the C API, unique to C, because the former does not support multi-homed non-blocking connect. When using non-blocking mode, the caller must repeatedly check for writeability on the filehandle (for instance using C
