bind SOCKET,NAME
Binds a network address to a socket, just as the bind system call does
+. Returns true if it succeeded, false otherwise. NAME should be a pac
+ked address of the appropriate type for the socket. See the examples 
+in Sockets: Client/ Server Communication in the perlipc manpage

If you ever see code that does anything like explicitly setting $AF_IN
+ET = 2, you know you're in for big trouble: An immeasurably superior 
+approach is to use the Socket module, which more reliably grants acce
+ss to various constants and functions you'll need.
