The Perl Net::addrinfo Extension Module
This Perl module is designed to implement and export functionality related to the POSIX getaddrinfo(3) system call. The Net::addrinfo data object is provided with field name accsessor functions, similarly named to the the C data structure definition in netdb.h.

This module should also be available through CPAN
(NOTE: it is proposed that this module be included in perl core release)
