IO::Socket->recv() method documentation?by BrowserUk (Patriarch) |

BrowserUk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Where is the return value of the recv() method documented? I'm aware of this from the recv pod: Returns the address of the sender if SOCKET's protocol supports this; returns an empty string otherwise. If there's an error, returns the undefined value. But what does it mean by "address"? And which protocals support it; and which not? Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
