The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: POSIX::Socket
DSLIP: aahfp
description: Low-level Perl interface to POSIX sockets
userid: YURY (Yury Kotlyarov)
chapterid: 4 (Operating_System_Interfaces)

N/A
rationale:
POSIX::Socket perl module allows you to work with sockets at low
level using the file descriptors. This solution is necessary for
share sockets between threads. This module extends the POSIX perl
module to work with sockets. POSIX perl module provides low-level
functions for working with fd files (not sockets), such as 'open',
'close', 'read', 'write' etc. POSIX::Socket provides 'socket',
'bind', 'listen', 'send', 'sendto', 'recv' etc. Perl modules Socket
and IO::Socket uses file handles (not fds), POSIX uses fds. So I
think that the modile name Socket under root name POSIX most clearly
reflects the purpose of the module as essentially extends the
capabilities of the POSIX perl module.
