NAME
       IO::Socket::UNIX - Object interface for AF_UNIX domain sockets
SYNOPSIS
           use IO::Socket::UNIX;
DESCRIPTION
       "IO::Socket::UNIX" provides an object interface to creating 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.
CONSTRUCTOR
       new ( [ARGS] )
           Creates an "IO::Socket::UNIX" object, which is a reference to a
           newly created symbol (see the "Symbol" package). "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.
               Type        Type of socket (eg SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM)
               Local       Path to local fifo
               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.
            NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE NOTE
           As of VERSION 1.18 all IO::Socket objects have autoflush turned on
           by default. This was not the case with earlier releases.
