The past year has been work filled, but its about time to finish up work on the Perl 5 core IPv6 functions. The last bits of functions to work on are getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo(). I'll need to play with Inline::C a bit to try out a few things. At a minimum, it getaddrinfo will look at bit like...

    my $kablam = POSIX::getaddrinfo('blogs.perl.org', 'www');

I've not decided whether to allow the additional hints in the addrinfo struct as a hashref or as additional parameters. Right now, I'm thinking as a hashref should be enough. I'm working what will get exactly returned from getaddrinfo() yet in what order. Decisions, decisions, decisions.
