Consider the modules suggested as solutions.

Hi I am using the Latest Modules as below :

>perl -MIO::Socket::IP -e "print$IO::Socket::IP::VERSION"
0.37
>perl -MSocket -e "print$Socket::VERSION"
2.021
[download]

Output :: 
perl -MIO::Socket::IP -E "my $sock = IO::Socket::IP->new(PeerHost => q
+q(2620:0:1aa0:8070:1:88:200:e78f),  PeerPort => 80, Timeout => 10 ) o
+r die $@;  say $sock->peerhost"
nodename nor servname provided, or not known at -e line 1.

The code works fine with using the INET6 Module but not with IO::Socket::IP.

perl -MIO::Socket::INET6 -E "my $sock = IO::Socket::INET6->new(PeerHos
+t => qq(2620:0:1aa0:8070:1:88:200:e78f),  PeerPort => 80, Timeout => 
+10 ) or die $@;  say $sock->peerhost"

I came across one Bug ( https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=79110 ) and found this to be similar to the problem I am facing. I also got the same following error upon trying the code as suggested in that bug ::

- Cannot create socket - ai_family not supported I also tried

cpan > force install Socket

As per the reporter, it worked fine for Strawberry Perl, But is not working for me as I am using Activestate Perl. Can anyone please suggest a solution for this problem. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks
