Esteemed Monks, I am trying to write an SSL Server using IO::Socket::SSL and am getting this error message, despite my best attempts: 
Couldn't connect to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : IO::Socket::SSL: getaddrinfo
+: Bad hints
IO::Socket::INET6 configuration failederror:00000000:lib(0):func(0):re
+ason(0) at /Users/joe/bin/tmpushd line 36.

After much flailing, I went about updating the dependent modules to see whether that would improve things. All went well until I attempted to update Socket6.pm and got these errors, among others: 
In file included from Socket6.xs:85:
getaddrinfo.c:53: error: conflicting types for 'gai_strerror'
/usr/include/netdb.h:263: error: previous declaration of 'gai_strerror

This is on OS X (Leopard) - does anyone have any idea of what's causing these errors and how to update Socket6.pm? I have a feeling that getaddrinfo() is responsible for at least some of my issues in getting the server to run... Thanks!
