I wrote a simple script to see how I can use UNIX domain socket to implement a client/server pair

The script can be ran as client/server.

The client side does a push_write, the server does push_read.
Unfortunately the whole thing doesn't seem to work, both server and client simply sit there with no output.
Please advise, any pointers will be greatly appreciated. I am sure I missed something trivial.
I start the server first (SCRIPT) and the client next (SCRIPT 1).

#!/usr/bin/perl

use v5.10;
use strict;
use warnings;

use AnyEvent::Socket;
use AnyEvent::Handle;

my $client = shift;               # undef - server, or client

my $path = "/tmp/socket";

my %data = (a => b => c => d =>);

my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar;   # Will send when client breaks connectio
+n

if ($client)
{
  # Client
  tcp_connect(
    "unix/",
    $path,
    sub {

      if (!@_)
      {
        # Error
        print STDERR "Failed connect to $path:$!\n";
        $cv->end;
        return;
      }
      print "Client connected to $path\n";

      my ($fh) = shift;

      #Create a handle and save it
      my $hdl;
      $hdl = AnyEvent::Handle->new(
        fh => $fh,
        on_error => sub {

          my ($hdl, $fatal, $msg) = @_;
          AE::log error => $msg;
          $hdl->destroy;
          $cv->send;
        },
        on_eof => sub {
          my ($hdl1, $fatal, $msg) = @_;

          $hdl1->destroy;       # destroy handle
          AE::log info => "Done.";
          $cv->send;
        }
      );

      # Write to the server
      $hdl->push_write (storable =>  \%data);
      1;
    },
  )
} else
{
  # Server
  print "Server\n";

  tcp_server(
    "unix/",
    $path, sub {

      # Accept callback and start rolling
      my ($fh, $host, $port) = @_;
      print "ACCEPTED:host=$host\n";

      my $hdl = AnyEvent::Handle->new(
        fh => $fh,
        on_error => sub {
          my ($hdl1, $fatal, $msg) = @_;
          AE::log error => $msg;
          $hdl1->destroy;
          $cv->send;
        },
        on_eof => sub {
          my ($hdl1) = @_;
          $hdl1->destroy;       # destroy handle
          AE::log info => "Done.";
        }
      );

      # Read from the client
      $hdl->push_read (storable => sub {
                         my ($hdl1, $data) = @_;
                         print "Read @{[ref($data)]}\n";
                       });
             
      1;
    },
  );

  print "Listening on $path\n";

}

$cv->recv;
