and using sockets in the AF_UNIX domain. It is built upon
the IO::Socket interface and inherits all the methods
defined by IO::Socket.

ence to a newly created symbol (see the "Symbol" pack-
age). "new" optionally takes arguments, these arguments
are in key-value pairs.
In addition to the key-value pairs accepted by
IO::Socket, "IO::Socket::UNIX" provides.

Peer Path to peer fifo
Listen Create a listen socket
If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it
is assumed to be a "Peer" specification.

turned on by default. This was not the case with earlier
releases.
