Public bug reported:

Hi Everyone,

I'm building Wget 1.20.3 from sources on Ubuntu 18.04.5, x86_64, fully
patched. Wget is failing 6 self tests. All of the failures are due to a
broken Perl. Here is an example:

HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa, length is 16, should be 4 at /usr/share/perl5/HTTP/Daemon.pm line 51.
No data received.
Closed 3/SSL 0x0000623000000100
Retrying.

This is apparently a well known problem in HTTP::Daemon. It appears
IO::Socket::INET does not support IPv6:

* https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=91699
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1413065

I filed the report against libhttp-daemon-perl, but that may be wrong. I
also see there is a libhttp-daemon-ssl-perl. Other package names include
perl-HTTP-Daemon.

Please pick up the fix for "Bad arg length for Socket::inet_ntoa".
