Should IPv^ be somewhere in the name, or does this do the same job for
IPv4? What sort of help does this provide?

Thanks, :)

Hello I thought of making the name IPv6 specific, however, I have
plans to introduce IPv4 support in the not too distant future.  So I
thought leaving it IP agnostic would be best.  Do you think this is
acceptable?

You could leave it IP agnostic, but then you might consider breaking
out the functionality into Net::DNS::Utility, Net::DNS::Utility::IPv6,
and Net::DNS::Utility::IPv4.  Then, don't specify in the
Net::DNS::Utility description that it's for IPv6  :)

Thanks for the suggestion, perhaps I pull the IPv6 reference to the
module and add reference to IPv4.  Would it be ok to leave the module
name as-is?

Thanks for the guidance,

John

I think the module name is fine as long as you give yourself some room
to use IPv4 and update the module description. :)
