While we're on LWP oddities, I've found a situation where something
within Perl[1] will attempt a TCP6 connection to a remote host if it has
an AAAA record which fails utterly as although I have local IPv6 links
on my host, it's not set up on my system to route IPv6 at all ... 

Unfortunately the only way I seem to have been able to get around this
was to implement the same thing in Python, which wasn't pretty ... :)

Is there any way to tell Perl not to use IPv6?  Or should I just remove it
completely?

Regards,
Malcolm

[1] not sure whether to finger LWP directly for this or not, it was just
where I bumped into it
