accept
accept ([pkg])
Performs the accept system call on a socket and
returns a new object. The new object is created in the same
class as the listen socket, unless
pkg is specified. The object can be
used to communicate with the client that tried to connect. In a
scalar context, the new socket is returned, or undef is returned on failure. In an
array context, a two-element array is returned containing the
new socket and the peer address, or an empty list is returned on
failure.
