in reply to 'flags' parameter of socket send()

First type send in the search box at the top of perlmonks (or run " perldoc -f send "). Normally we get the docs for a function this way. Interestingly the flags are not mentioned but we see that it says:
Takes the same flags as the system call of the same name.
Now I'm going to assume you're not used to programming in a unix-like system environment so the unix man pages can be accessed like " man send " (it actually varies depending on your system). (A "man page" is part of the system manual and each "page" describes a part of the system, often a command or function call.) If I don't have the man page on my system I often just google for it like: man send. The first hit is often what I'm looking for.

I hope that should help a bit. Best regards, Chad

    Thanks.. it didn't even occur to me to search for the unix function (I'm doing development under windows after all...) So my next question is, does the flags input mean anything when the script is running in windows?
