Summary     : Networking constants and support functions
Description :
This module provides a variety of constants, structure manipulators and other
functions related to socket-based networking. The values and functions
provided are useful when used in conjunction with Perl core functions such as
socket(), setsockopt() and bind(). It also provides several other support
functions, mostly for dealing with conversions of network addresses between
human-readable and native binary forms, and for hostname resolver operations.

Update Information:

This release fixes a "addr is not a string" check on perls older than 5.18.
This release recognizes more SO_* socket constants. It fixes magic handling in getnameinfo(), some compiler and perl warnings.
