Subject: 127.1 doesn't work on NetBSD
There are multiple fail results in 4.055 which seem to boil down to the OS not supporting resolution of 127.1 I see this article which implies that the stack may be broken on multiple BSD implementations: http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2000-12/0833.html http://www.cpantesters.org/distro/N/NetAddr-IP.html#NetAddr-IP-4.055? grade=3&perlmat=2&patches=2&oncpan=2&distmat=2&perlver=ALL&osname=ALL&version=4 .055

I have verified that 'gethostbyname' in the NetBSD and OpenBSD distros do not handle the short form of IP addresses. A fix is in the works. Michael On Tue Nov 01 18:03:09 2011, TODDR wrote: Show quoted text

I see both windows and BSD failing on this still in 4.056 in the test results.

I need a platform to test and fix it on. I don't have one where I can see the failure. Can you provide access to a failing box via ssh? I can send you a public key. Michael@insulin-pumpers.org

I do not have BSD servers for testing. I can however recommend the MS test servers: http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal/39318 I'm pinging the IRC channel now for more info

Looks like you need to email adamk at cpan for an account. Give him your CPAN userid and he'll set you up.

Rev 4.057: patched one of the sub-modules that referred to gethostbyname which is broken in NetBSD and OpenBSD. Unable to test on MS but does work now on NetBSD with this fix. On Mon Nov 07 12:19:56 2011, TODDR wrote: Show quoted text
