Has anyone ever had success using IO::Socket::UNIX or Socket directly on Win32 to create AF_UNIX domain sockets? I see mixed info about supported/not-supported across 'Net.

I am currently using ActiveState Perl 5.8.

I would also be interested in comments regarding same on OpenVMS.

E.g.

Code 1:

... 
use IO::Socket::UNIX;
my ($parent_unix_socket,$child_unix_socket);
#my $unix_socket_path = "/tmp/unix_socket";
my $unix_socket_path = "C:\\TMP\\unix_socket";
print $unix_socket_path . "\n";

$parent_unix_socket = IO::Socket::UNIX->new( Local => $unix_socket_pat
+h, Listen => 1 );
unless ( $parent_unix_socket ) {
       unlink($unix_socket_path);
       Carp::croak("Failure To Create Listening Unix Socket: $!");
}

Result1:

C:\TMP\unix_socket

Failure To Create Listening Unix Socket: No such file or directory at dar.pl line 10

I've tried multiple incarnations of path -- no luck.
