... at C:/work/newdummy/../Perl/IO/Socket/Socket6.pm

What seems strange is that you have Socket6.pm in the directory .../IO/Socket/. And what's even stranger is that something is in fact pulling it in from there...

The only circumstance under which I can reproduce your problem can't locate object method "bootstrap" via package "Socket6" is by putting Socket6.pm where you have it, plus adjusting the namespace from package Socket6; to package IO::Socket::Socket6;, and then modifying the use statement use Socket6; in IO::Socket::INET6 to read use IO::Socket::Socket6;. In this case I also do get 

Can't locate object method "bootstrap" via package "Socket6" (perhaps 
+you forgot to load "Socket6"?) at IO/Socket/Socket6.pm line 279.

(which is not too surprising, as the package is now "IO::Socket::Socket6"...)

So... did you do anything like this??

Normally, the directory layout should be: 

.../Perl/Socket6.pm
.../Perl/auto/Socket6/Socket6.so     # the XS component of Socket6 (.d
+ll on Windows)
.../Perl/IO/Socket/INET6.pm

[download]

(where .../Perl is a directory that's in @INC)
