When setting "option inet6" in /etc/resolv.conf, IO::Socket::INET

I agree that this is a problem, but I'm not sure whether it's a
reasonable
expectation for ipv4-only software to work with this option being
set;
the manpage for resolv.conf does mention that breakage is to be
expected.
A more pragmatic solution might be to use IO::Socket::IP instead.
I see now that IO::Socket::INET is only intended for IPv4; I hadn't
realised that. This problem showed up because the
/usr/share/popularity-contest/popcon-upload script in popularity-contest
makes use of IO::Socket::INET. Perhaps this bug could be reassigned to
the popularity-contest package so that it can be changed to use
IO::Socket::IP instead?
