Perl Mojolicious, Mojo::UserAgent use IPv4

Question

How can I tell my Mojolicious Mojo::UserAgent to use only IPv4, is that possible somehow?

(something like: wget --inet4-only https://blabli.com)

Reason why I need this is that in Openshift Cluster where I use this Agent, IPv6 doesn't work.

You can force the use of ipv4 using the IO::Socket::IP module to add socket_options to the user agents socket.

use Mojo::UserAgent;
use IO::Socket::IP -register;

# PF_INET  -> ipv4
# PF_INET6 -> ipv6
my $ua = Mojo::UserAgent->new(socket_options => { Domain => PF_INET });

print $ua->get("www.google.com")->result->body; # Uses ipv4
