in thread Is there a problem with IPC::Open on Windows 7?

The name AF_UNIX is unfairly UNIX-specific; it's possible for non-UNIX systems to implement it.

Possible yes, but have MS actually done so? If so, when?

Hm. I know I tried this years ago and got the same result as this guy.

And the scant and unhelpful results I get from searching MS for AF_UNIX doesn't clarify anything. It appears in the header files, but there are no examples and no discussion of using it.

When I get time and motivation I'll dip into C and play, see what I find.

At this point I have no experience or knowledge of this to offer you.
