Folks- When I try to use the socket() routine to create a UNIX socket (AF_UNIX), I always get error #22. However, I can create Internet sockets (AF_INET) just fine. The code looks something like this: require 'GUSI.ph' socket(SOC,1,1,0) || die "socket #",abs($!),"\n"; . . . Would someone mind giving me just a code snippet for an AF_UNIX socket() call that works? Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | Toni Harbaugh-Blackford | Internet: helpuser@ncifcrf.gov | | Scientific Applications Analyst | | | Biomedical Supercomputing Center | Phone: (301) 846-5555 | | SAIC | FAX: (301) 846-5762 | | NCI-FCRDC | | | PO Box B, Bldg 430 | | | Frederick, MD 21702-1201 USA | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
