It's easy to find INET socket example code, but harder to find UNIX socket example code. Some of the few I found didn't work at all, and Stein's example didn't explain the relationship between the Local and Peer arguments when using SOCK_DGRAM. Also, his example used sockaddr_un to get the server address, which is not necessary if you're only talking to a single server. It's clearer to simply specify Peer on the call to IO::Socket::UNIX. But without prior experience on that particular problem, I didn't know that. I had to learn by reading, trial and error, and I spent much more time on it than I wanted to. Not everyone has time to become a sockets or Perl expert, and finding an easy recipe saves time. So I posted mine. Once upon a time, Usenet users were friendly and generous. Maybe those days are gone now, but I remember when ... -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php

Some ngs are dominated by territorial control freaks who get upset when someone unknown comes along and posts without bowing and scraping before the self appointed elite. But the way I see it, that's their problem, not mine. -- Web mail, POP3, and SMTP http://www.beewyz.com/freeaccounts.php
