I'd like to note that FileDescriptors are not reserved unices. I know
Windows also has them (though they aren't commonly used), and quite
possibly others too.
Will be fixed in next update.
Also, IO::Socket.close() is not an alternative for a shutdown()
method. They do subtly different things. IO::Socket should support
both IMHO.
The only difference I could see was that shutdown allows changing the
readability and writeability. While I agree that this functionality should be
exposed, (see my next update), I think that in the general case, .close() plus
the other stuff I've done should be sufficient. Maybe shutdown() should be
exposed somewhere, though.
