Having problems to create a server (bind, listen, accept).
I'm stuck with using sockaddr_in6. Someone knows how to populate this structure in order to use it with bind() ?

Program :

use IO::Socket;
use IO::Socket::INET6;
use Socket qw(inet_ntoa);
use Socket6 ( qw(AI_PASSIVE inet_ntop inet_pton getaddrinfo sockaddr_in6 pack_sockaddr_in6 unpack_sockaddr_in6 unpack_sockaddr_in6_all pack_sockaddr_in6_all) );
my $client1 = new IO::Socket
(
Domain => AF_INET6,
Proto => 'udp'
);
my $src1 = sockaddr_in6(0,inet_pton(AF_INET6,'fed0::87'));
my $retVal1 = bind $client1,$src1;
print "Failed to bind\n" if !$retVal;

It is printing "Failed to bind".

Can anyone please help.

Regards,
Saru.
