Bug #102409 for IO-Socket-INET6: Unable to listen on IPv4 and IPv6 wildcard addresses

There is an issue with listening on IPv4 and IPv6 wildcard addresses. You can listen on one or the other but not both. Seems to think its already in use or something. -------------------------------- my $socket_ipv4 = IO::Socket::INET6->new(Listen => 10, LocalAddr => 0.0.0.0, LocalPort => 6666); my $socket_ipv6 = IO::Socket::INET6->new(Listen => 10, LocalAddr => ::, LocalPort => 6666); print "SOCKET = $socket_ipv4\n"; print "SOCKET = $socket_ipv6\n"; -------------------------------- Result SOCKET = IO::Socket::INET6=GLOB(0x7fd6c1ff4c30) Use of uninitialized value $socket_ipv6 in concatenation (.) or string at ./ipv6_test.pl line 24. SOCKET = $ netstat -lnp | grep 6666 tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:6666 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 2209/perl If I change the order and do IPv6 before IPv4 then I get the following Use of uninitialized value $socket_ipv4 in concatenation (.) or string at ./ipv6_test.pl line 24. SOCKET = SOCKET = IO::Socket::INET6=GLOB(0x7fc049732c30) $ netstat -lnp | grep 6666 tcp6 0 0 :::6666 :::* LISTEN 2217/perl Please look into this so both IPv4 and IPv6 wildcards can be used at the same time.
