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.
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.
If the constructor is only passed a single argument, it is assumed to
be a Peer
 specification.
If the Listen
 argument is given, but false, the queue size will be set to 5.
Returns the pathname to the fifo at the local end
Returns the pathanme to the fifo at the peer end
