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.

As of VERSION 1.18 all IO::Socket objects have autoflush turned on
by default. This was not the case with earlier releases.
