Description

Perl network code can use getaddrinfo and getnameinfo style lookups, including IPv6-aware address handling. This helps applications resolve names and service endpoints in a modern, protocol-neutral way.

It is a developer networking library. Resolver results should be handled with timeouts and errors in mind, especially when connections depend on remote DNS or network policy.
