File::FDpasser is a module for passing open filedescriptors between unrelated processes. This is Unix Capabable only - if you don't have it - get it. Under BSD systems open filedescriptors are passed over Unix Domain Sockets. Under SysV open filedescriptors are passed over pipes. If you add stuff for new platforms or fixes send it! All mail should go to: addi@umich.edu (http://www.eecs.umich.edu/~addi/) Thanks go to: Practically all of efnet #perl esp. the people who tested the module on various platforms, and akana of ircnet #perl. Also thanks to TonyC for testing on Darwin.
