Subject: IPv6 regex fails valid addresses
perl -MRegexp::Common -E 'say q{2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000::1428:57ab} =~ /^$RE{net}{IPv6}$/' This passes without the '$' anchor, but that's not very useful ;)

The regexp is intended to fail here. If you use an address with a contraction, you must contract at least two groups of hexadecimal digits. However, you example address contains seven groups, meaning you're omitted a single group. That's invalid, and hence the pattern fails to match.
