The io::socket::multicast6 module subclasses io::socket::inet6 to enable you to manipulate multicast groups. with this module you will be able to receive incoming multicast transmissions and generate your own outgoing multicast packets.

io::socket::multicast6 uses the same api as io::socket::multicast, but with added support for ipv6 (ipv4 is still supported). unlike io::socket::multicast, this is a pure-perl module.
