| NOTES |
Most of these routines quietly but politely return undef when they
fail instead of causing your program to die right then and there due to
an uncaught exception. (Actually, some of the new Socket conversion
functions croak() on bad arguments.) It is therefore essential to
check return values from these functions. Always begin your socket
programs this way for optimal success, and don't forget to add -T
taint checking flag to the #! line for servers:
#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use strict;
use sigtrap;
use Socket;
