Subject: [PATCH] Reimplement in pureperl now that Socket has multicast support
I've just this moment put on CPAN Socket 2.001_001, which adds the various IPv4 multicast support constants and structure wrapper functions. Using this new version, I was able to rewrite IO/Socket/Multicast.pm to being pure-perl, avoiding the need for XS code. Find attached a patch that does this for your consideration. You may or may not want to apply it yet though; I'd suggest at least waiting for a Socket 2.002 stable release. Since Socket is dual-life, these constants will eventually land in core perl, thus making IO::Socket::Multicast a pure-perl distribution with no non-core dependencies, with this change in. Hope this helps, -- Paul Evans

FYI, Socket 2.002 is now on CPAN, which is able to support this change. -- Paul Evans
