Monks, this is how I implemented a solution for the above problem: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Socket;
use IO::Handle::Record;
$| = 1;
unlink('/tmp/catsock');
my $server = new IO::Socket::UNIX(
    Type => SOCK_STREAM,
    Local => '/tmp/catsock',
    Listen => SOMAXCONN
);
die "Coudn't open socket" unless $server;
my $client;
my $count = 0;
while(1) {
    $client = $server->accept();
    my ($pid, $uid, $gid) = $client->peercred;
    # name, pass, uid, gid, quota, comment, gcos, dir, shell, expire
    my @uinfo = getpwuid($uid);
    print "$count. Credentials User: $uinfo[0] PID: $pid UID: $uid GID
+: $gid\n" . <$client> . "\n";
    $count++;
}

However, I would really like to see how this can be implemented without using IO::Socket::UNIX.
Or is it at all possible.
