Subject: [PATCH] Do not default IO::Socket::IP to AI_ADDRCONFIG flag
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

t/40connect.t fails if the only available network interface is
loopback and IO::Socket::IP is installed:

    # perl -Ilib -I. t/40connect.t
    1..3
    ok 1 - client with IPv4/IPv6 auto-selection, bound to ::1
    ldap://localhost:9009/ Name or service not known at t/common.pl line 157.
    # Looks like your test exited with 22 just after 1.

The reason is that IO::Socket::IP by default resolves host names with
AI_ADDRCONFIG flag and in the particular case (no interfaces other
than loopback) a system resolver (glibc in my case) hides both IPv4
and IPv6 addreses of the hostname (e.g. localhost).

See <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=104793> for more
details.

I applied a workaround similar to one found in IO-Socket-SSL.
I believe that other Socket implementations perl-ldap can use do not
suffer from this problem.
