But that's not the case. The same applies for the methods ::valid_ipv4? and ::valid_ipv6?. Tested on the following two Ruby installations: ruby 1.9.3p194 (2012-04-20 revision 35410) [x86_64-darwin11.3.0] ruby 1.9.1p376 (2009-12-07 revision 26041) [x86_64-linux] I had a look at the source file ipaddr.rb and it seems these methods are only defined in case Socket::AF_INET6 is not defined. This doesn't make any sense in my opinion. Thanks in advance. -- http://bugs.ruby-lang.org/
