| Subject: | SocketFactory.pm compilation issue with Socket6 on Cygwin |
When running the test suite with Socket6 perl module installed on Cygwin
(CYGWIN_NT-5.1 erybski 1.5.19(0.150/4/2) 2006-01-20 13:28 i686 Cygwin),
I get the following repeated error on any test that involves
POE::Wheel::SocketFactory:
Your vendor has not defined Socket macro AF_INET6, used at
blib/lib/POE/Wheel/SocketFactory.pm line 67
Compilation failed in require at blib/lib/POE/Component/Server/TCP.pm
line 19.

blib/lib/POE/Component/Server/TCP.pm line 19.

line 22.

# Looks like your test died before it could output anything.
The quick solution: Remove Socket6 from perl on Cygwin.
My concern is that POE used to check (and skip) tests for Socket6 on
cygwin. It appears that the addition of an import of a constant from
the Socket6 package is causing POE to now fail before it can even load
SocketFactory.pm.
An eval closure should be used to check if any of the Socket6::*_INET6
constants are defined or not.
