Re: where are all the IPv6 tools?

[Owen DeLong <owen () delong com>]

The PERL Net::IP module provides a basis that would make it fairly
easy to implement most of those and does fully support both IPv4
and IPv6.

IIRC, those tools predated Net::IP, so, re-implementing them from
scratch using Net::IP might be both cleaner and easier.
