note Anonymous Monk <p><I>I can't figure out why INET6 sockets are printing such weird values for the port numbers, even though I'm using the same 23456 in both cases.</i><P>Did you read the docs? Probably cause they're supposed to do that, cause they're documented to do that. <p> :P If [mod:// IO::Socket::INET6] isn't satisfying try reading [href://http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3493|RFC 3493 - Basic Socket Interface Extensions for IPv6] 1008024 1008024 5
