In linux, I can do a stat on a file in the proc directory

  • 0

In linux, I can do a stat on a file in the proc directory and determine if it is a socket.

root@dev:/proc/2221/fd# stat 100
  File: `100' -> `socket:[125598]'

How can I get this same result with perl?

    If you only want to know if it is a socket, then:

    if(-S $file_name) { /* do something */ }
