[Bug 327218] [NEW] Quotation breaks usage of INET6

[Mark Schouten]

Public bug reported:

When trying to use  an inet6 server in Net::IMAP::Simple, you get the
following error:

Can't locate IO::Socket::INET6 in @INC (@INC contains:
/usr/lib/nagios/plugins /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.8.8
/usr/local/share/perl/5.8.8 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5
/usr/lib/perl/5.8 /usr/share/perl/5.8 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .) at
/usr/share/perl5/Net/IMAP/Simple.pm line 162.

This is because of the following line:
require 'IO::Socket::INET6';

The manpage states:
If you try this:
 require Foo::Bar;    # a splendid bareword
The require function will actually look for the "Foo/Bar.pm" file in the directories specified in the @INC array.

But if you try this:
 $class = 'Foo::Bar';
 require $class;      # $class is not a bareword
#or
 require "Foo::Bar";  # not a bareword because of the ""
The require function will look for the "Foo::Bar" file in the @INC array and will complain about not finding "Foo::Bar" there. 

See attached diff to fix.
