We managed to upgrade Net::SMTP to 3.11 and IO::Socket::SSL to 2.052

But we are getting these warning messages out when we call either of these modules:

perl -MNet::SMTP -e 'print "$Net::SMTP::VERSION\n"' Constant subroutine IO::Socket::INET6::AF_INET6 redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65. at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 16 Prototype mismatch: sub IO::Socket::INET6::AF_INET6 () vs none at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65. at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 16 Constant subroutine IO::Socket::INET6::PF_INET6 redefined at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65. at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 16 Prototype mismatch: sub IO::Socket::INET6::PF_INET6 () vs none at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/Exporter.pm line 65. at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/IO/Socket/INET6.pm line 16 3.11

We did have this issue during the upgrade:

Went back through the install screens. even though I got an ok at the end, I found a MakeMaker version issue. I had to force install Make::Maker Net::SMTP is now installed,

Our server is : uname -a Linux oh01lx04.workflowone.net 2.6.18-53.1.6.el5 #1 SMP Wed Jan 16 03:56:15 EST 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can these warning messages be disregarded ?? thank you
