Re^2: Using Net::SSH2 with DBI

Hm. According to DBD::mysql, there's the mysql_socket specifier to pass the unix socket name. Does this not work?

So basically, you'd need a small helper sub to handle the tedium of attaching a process to a socket

my $unixname = named_sock_spawn(sub{ exec "ssh" });

sub named_sock_spawn {
    socket();bind();listen();
    fork() and return $name;
    accept();dup();dup();$fun->();
}

The perlipc has an example on unix-domain TCP. But are there any modules to provide named pipe utilities?

This is only for a socket name unfortunately, not for an in-memory socket structure.	[reply]

It's the socket name that the mysql client will use to connect to the server. No?	[reply]

Sure, but that doesn't help if your plan is to do the (IP-)socket setup yourself. If your plan is to spawn an external process which listens to the named (domain-)socket, giving that name to `libmysql` will help a bit.	[reply] [d/l]
