Maybe ASSP should only support newer versions of Perl.

IO::Socket::INET6 is not really being maintained as of about 2 years ago now
http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SHLOMIF/IO-Socket-INET6-2.72/ChangeLog

I reported 1 bug related to ASSP
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=102409

Others are open

I don't code in perl, nor do I prefer it. Thus not being familiar with it from 
that 
perspective. I code in Java and C. But I have been around it, touched it, 
played with it, 
have books on it, etc. Just not a fan of perl, personal preference.

I have experienced all kinds. Trying to limit SSL to say TLS1.2, I had ASSP end 
up in 
strange states where it was running, connections were taking place, but it 
would not 
process any email. Reverting to allowing other SSL connections that problem 
goes 
away.

Someone recently reported ASSP crashing, though that can be due to a variety of 
things. I have also seen ASSP crash within the last year due to Perl updates 
and 
changes. What forced me to upgrade to v2 was changes in Perl and modules.  
Another reported ASSP going zombie, which again was likely more due to update 
in 
Perl than ASSP as that was v1 like my previous issues with v1.

There might have been more but those are just off hand. Again this is not 
really ASSP 
code base, as its Perl. But maybe ASSP does need to start requiring newer 
versions 
of Perl given there seem to be some major changes between the revisions.
