building perl WWW::Mechanize on debian Jessie hangs
Hi,
Recently I ran into a problem with building WWW::Mechanize under
perlbrew on Debian Jessie. After some digging I found the error was
related to this:
Test hangs on perl: res_query.c:262: __libc_res_nquery: Assertion `(hp
!= ((void *)0)) && (hp2 != ((void *)0))' failed
which is one of the test WWW::Mechanize runs during install.
A friendly perl guru pointed me to a possible fix which was to disable IPv6:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1607876#p1607876
and low and behold, I was able to compile WWW::Mechanize.
Is this a bug I should report in the debian project somehow?
Here is an issue I raised against WWW::Mechanize with a little more detail.

Thanks,
Jason
