INET6 does not work with [::1]

Question

perl INET6 does not work with [::1]:port , where port is the 4 digit port number. it works with 5 digit port number. Any suggestions/work arounds?

Any 4 digit port number or just those below 1024? – Eugen Constantin Dinca Nov 18 '11 at 19:56 — Eugen Constantin Dinca, Nov 18 '11 at 19:56

On some systems, one must have special (root) privileges to bind to a port less than 1024.
