I've tried the code in Perl Cookbook, and many modifications. Here's my socket programme code: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Socket;
use strict;
use warnings;

unlink "/tmp/mysock";
our $server = IO::Socket::UNIX->new(LocalAddr => "/tmp/mysock",
Type => SOCK_DGRAM,
Listen => 5)
or die $!;

while (my $client = $server->accept())
{
while (defined (my $buf = <$client>))
{
print "$buf\n";
}
}

close ($server);

exit(0);

When I run it, the ->new() call appears to work. No error codes and the debugger reports that $server is a socket. The /tmp/mysock file doesn't get created, though. Then the while($client = ... ) just falls through. It doesn't wait for the socket to say anything, it just skips to the close() statement and exits.

I've done this with INET sockets a number of times with no problems, but this is the first time I've tried UNIX sockets. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate hearing about them. Thanks Russ Jones

Update Thanks !! IT works
