%description
The RFC 2553 functions 'getaddrinfo' and 'getnameinfo' provide an
abstracted way to convert between a pair of host name/service name and
socket addresses, or vice versa. 'getaddrinfo' converts names into a set of
arguments to pass to the 'socket()' and 'connect()' syscalls, and
'getnameinfo' converts a socket address back into its host name/service
name pair.

These functions provide a useful interface for performing either of these
name resolution operation, without having to deal with IPv4/IPv6
transparency, or whether the underlying host can support IPv6 at all, or
other such issues. However, not all platforms can support the underlying
calls at the C layer, which means a dilema for authors wishing to write
forward-compatible code. Either to support these functions, and cause the
code not to work on older platforms, or stick to the older "legacy"
resolvers such as 'gethostbyname()', which means the code becomes more
portable.

This module attempts to solve this problem, by detecting at compiletime
whether the underlying OS will support these functions. If it does not, the
module will use pure-perl emulations of the functions using the legacy
resolver functions instead. The emulations support the same interface as
the real functions, and behave as close as is resonably possible to emulate
using the legacy resolvers. See the Socket::GetAddrInfo::Emul manpage for
details on the limits of this emulation.

As of Perl version 5.14.0, Perl already supports 'getaddrinfo' in core. On
such a system, this module simply uses the functions provided by 'Socket',
and does not need to use its own compiled XS, or pure-perl legacy
emulation.

As 'Socket' in core now provides all the functions also provided by this
module, it is likely this may be the last released version of this module.
And code currently using this module would be advised to switch to using
core 'Socket' instead.
