Subject: characters in IPv6-Address in lowercase
Date: Fri, 19 Nov 2010 16:30:23 +0100
To: bug-NetAddr-IP [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Peter Woelk <peter [...] pw.de>
Hello, first, thanks for the ip-management module for perl. I noticed that NetAddr::IP IPv6-strings are uppercase by default. As of RFC5952 the default should be lowercase: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5952#section-4.3 Best regards, Peter.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Making this change in the default now would break everyone's existing code that depends on NetAddr::IP should they upgrade to a new version. I will put a notation about the RFC in the documentation with a recommendation that new modules invoke NetAddr::IP qw(:lower) to comply with the RFC. Michael
