# Net::IMAP::Simple::PipeSocket(3pm)

a little wrapper around IPC-Open3 that feels like a socket

## NAME

Net::IMAP::Simple::PipeSocket - a little wrapper around IPC-Open3 that feels like a socket

## SYNOPSIS

This module is really just a wrapper around IPC-Open3 that can be dropped in place of a socket handle.  The Net::IMAP::Simple code assumes the socket is always a socket and is never a pipe and re-writing it all would be horrible.

This abstraction is used only for that purpose.
