NAME

       Paranoid::Module -- Paranoid Module Loading Routines

VERSION

       $Id: Module.pm,v 0.82 2011/12/20 02:59:37 acorliss Exp $

SYNOPSIS

	 use Paranoid::Module;

	 $rv = loadModule($module, qw(:all));

DESCRIPTION

       This provides a single function that allows you to do dynamic loading of modules at runtime, along with importation of the exported symbol
       table.  Specific functions and/or tag sets can be declared, just as you would in a normal use or import statement.

SUBROUTINES
/METHODS
   loadModule
	 $rv = loadModule($module, qw(:all));

       Accepts a module name and an optional list of arguments to use with the import function.  Returns a true or false depending whether the
       require was successful.

DEPENDENCIES

       o   Paranoid

       o   Paranoid::Debug

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

       The loadModule cannot be used to require external files, it can only be used to load modules in the existing library path.  In addition,
       while we track what symbol sets (if any) were imported to the caller's name space the return value doesn't reflect the value of the import
       method.	This is intentional because not every module out there offers a properly coded import function or inherits it from Exporter(3)).
       The return value from import is ignored.

NAME

       Paranoid::Network::Socket - Socket wrapper for seemless IPv6 support

VERSION

       $Id: Socket.pm,v 0.3 2012/05/29 21:38:37 acorliss Exp $

SYNOPSIS

	 # use Socket; # no longer needed
	 use Paranoid::Network::Socket;
	 use Paranoid::Network::Socket qw(:crlf);

	 $ipv6_enabled = has_ipv6();

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a wrapper for Socket(3) and Socket6(3), and is meant to be used in lieu of using those packages directly.  Doing so removes
       any of the version dependent support issues on Perl and its bundled Socket(3) where IPv6 is concerned.

       Starting in Perl 5.12 the beginnings of IPv6 support emerged in the bundled Socket(3) module, but full IPv6 support didn't arrive until
       5.14.  Prior versions of Perl required the use of the external Socket6(3) module (available on CPAN).

       With this module IPv6 support, if available, is brought in automatically at runtime, regardless of where that support is provided.  It also
       makes a default export of inet_pton and inet_ntop, something that Socket(3) only does on request.

       Finally, this module provides a has_ipv6 function which will return whether your Perl has full IPv6 support.  Full support is determined by
       the presence of sockaddr_in6.

       All of the regular tag sets provided by either Socket modules are supported by this module.

SUBROUTINES
/METHODS
   has_ipv6
	   $ipv6_enabled = has_ipv6();

       Returns a boolean value denoting whether or not this module has full IPv6 support.

DEPENDENCIES

       o   Socket

       o   Socket6 (optional)
