I tried following sample example from : https://metacpan.org/module/IO::Socket::IP 
use IO::Socket::IP -register;

my $sock = IO::Socket->new(
   Domain    => PF_INET6,
   LocalHost => "::1",
   Listen    => 1,
) or die "Cannot create socket - $@\n";

print "Created a socket of type " . ref($sock) . "\n";

It is giving output as : Cannot create socket - no address associated with nodename I am using ActiveState perl 5.14.2 and have built IO::Socket::IP module on it. Following is the ping result:

If I use the IPv4 style loopback address 127.0.0.1, the above code works well. I am wondering what I am missing.
