Subject: pack_sockaddr_in() does not set "sin_len" field on systems using BSD4.4 sockaddr_in structure
Because the sin_len field isn't set, you can no longer use simple string comparison to compare the output of pack_sockaddr_in() with a real address generated by the kernel/libc. Hence my test failure: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/01/msg990030.html I've had a look into it but I can't see an easy way to tell if sin_len is used on the platform from just the XS code - perhaps have the Makefile.PL include a list of those platforms it is used on, and pass a -DHAVE_SIN_LEN in to the CFLAGS? -- Paul Evans

Since I'm now looking after Socket as a dual-life module on CPAN, I'll have a hack at fixing this in the first round of updates after the dual- life nature is properly synced. -- Paul Evans

On second thoughts, I distinctly remember fixing this around 1.93*mumble* in Perl core. Now it's dual-lifed on CPAN, it's fixed here too. -- Paul Evans
