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?
