=head1 NAME

Win32::Socketpair - Simulate socketpair on Windows

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Win32::Socketpair 'winopen2';

  my $socket = winopen2(@cmd);

  my $fn = fileno $socket;
  my $v = '';
  vec($v, $fn, 1) = 1;

  while (1) {
    if (select(my $vin = $v, my $vout = $v, undef, undef) > 0) {
      if (vec($vout, $fn, 1) {
        syswrite($socket, "hello\n") or last;
      }
      if (vec($vin, $fn, 1) {
        sysread($socket, my $buffer, 2048) or last;
        print "read: $buffer";
      }
    }
  }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module allows to create a bidirectional pipe on Windows that can
be used inside a C<select> loop. It uses a TCP socket going through the
localhost interface to create the connection.

=head2 EXPORT

The subroutines that can be imported from this module are:

=over 4

=item ($fd1, $fd2) = winsocketpair()

creates a socket connection through the localhost interface.

It returns a pair of file descriptors representing both sides of the
socket.

=item ($pid, $fd1) = winopen2(@cmd)

creates a socket connection through the localhost interface and
launchs the external command C<@cmd> on the background using one side
of the socket as its STDIN and STDOUT.

It returns the pid of the new process and the file descriptor for the
other side of the socket or an empty list on failure.
