Greetings fellow wakeonlan enthusiasts!
Today I wanted to run
wakeonlanin one of our IPv6-only networks and I discovered that this is not working.I implemented the getaddrinfo dance to resolve names and numbers according to the playbook. This not only introduces proper IPv6 support, but also support to resolve domain names as a side effect. I took the liberty to rename IP address to target, but without changing the getopt structure to stay backward compatible.
It’s my first time hacking in Perl and I haven’t implement the validation for target yet. I also should update the manuals reflecting IPv6 and domain name support.
Please let me know if this is a good start and if not, what to fix.
Fixes #2.
Cheers!
