Hi,

Recently I ran into a problem with building WWW::Mechanize under
perlbrew on Debian Jessie. After some digging I found the error was
related to this:

Test hangs on perl: res_query.c:262: __libc_res_nquery: Assertion `(hp
!= ((void *)0)) && (hp2 != ((void *)0))' failed

which is one of the test WWW::Mechanize runs during install.

A friendly perl guru pointed me to a possible fix which was to disable IPv6:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1607876#p1607876

and low and behold, I was able to compile WWW::Mechanize.

Is this a bug I should report in the debian project somehow?

Here is an issue I raised against WWW::Mechanize with a little more detail.

Thanks,

Jason
