+=head1 NAME
+
+Socket - load the C socket.h defines
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use Socket;
+
+    $proto = (getprotobyname('udp'))[2];         
+    socket(Socket_Handle, PF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, $proto); 
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This module is just a translation of the C F<socket.h> file.
+Unlike the old mechanism of requiring a translated F<socket.ph>
+file, this uses the B<h2xs> program (see the Perl source distribution)
+and your native C compiler.  This means that it has a 
+far more likely chance of getting the numbers right.
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+Only C<#define> symbols get translated; you must still correctly
+pack up your own arguments to pass to bind(), etc.
