Bug #104660 for IO-Socket-SSL: io-socket-inet6 test fails when IO::Socket::IP is installed

io-socket-inet6 test fails when IO::Socket::IP is installed

The io-socket-inet6 test fails when IO::Socket::IP is installed. This can be fixed by blacklisting the module just for this test.

The test does not fail for me with both modules installed and there is already code in the test which causes IO::Socket::IP not too load. Can you be please more specific in which setup this test makes problems (OS, perl version, version of the modules) and how the error exactly looks like?

I agree, this sounds like a bug that needs to be solved, rather than avoided. It is not a good thing that certain module combinations fail, so these problems need to be found and fixed. In particular, it is really important to have diagnostic information to find these, as there *have* been a few interoperability problems lately, but it's been very hard to diagnose them. I've been seeing some test failures in the libwww-perl and Net-* distributions that I haven't been able to pinpoint yet, so any reproduction case at all will be *very* helpful.

This bug is not about IO::Socket::SSL failing with both modules installed, but this test failing. The test explictly makes sure that IO::Socket::IP gets not loaded to enforce testing with IO::Socket::INET6. By default IO::Socket::IP gets used (if recent enough) instead of IO::Socket::INET6 but this test checks if it would work with IO::Socket::INET6 too. So the question here is only why the test is failing. I doubt that it is due to IO::Socket::IP loaded instead, but I don't really know until I have more information about the issue instead of just "it fails". Show quoted text

I'm willing to help with these issues, but I don't really think that this bug here is related to them. But again, it is hard to know without having more details.

I've carried that patch for at least two years, so that would have been Win7/Cygwin-1.7.x, perl-5.14.2 and some 1.8x or 1.9x version of the module. I don't have the logfiles anymore, sorry. I've just tested with the patch removed and it doesn't fail for me now with Cygwin-2.0.2, perl-5.22.0-RC2 and the latest version of the module, so it appears that that bug had been fixed earlier. Sorry for the noise.

Then is all well.
