Potter <[email protected]> Date: Aug 24 2000 Mailing List: [email protected] Version: 1 Number: 146 =head1 ABSTRACT Move the socket functions (C<accept>, C<bind>, etc) from the core language to a loadable module. =head1 DESCRIPTION Several of the socket functions have already started to migrate from the core to a module. This RFC is proposing that all the socket functions should move to the Socket.pm module and require a "use Socket;" in order to function in perl 6. The specific functions that would be covered under this proposal are: =over =item C<accept> =item C<bind> =item C<connect> =item C<getpeername> =item C<getsockname> =item C<getsockopt> =item C<listen> =item C<recv> =item C<send> =item C<setsockopt> =item C<shutdown> =item C<socket> =item C<socketpair> =back =head1 IMPLEMENTATION Move code for socket functions to Socket.pm, requyire "use Socket" to enable use of socket functions. =head1 REFERENCES L<Socket.pm|the Socket module> L<perlfunc>
