- use IPC::Msg;
-
- $msg = new IPC::Msg(IPC_PRIVATE, S_IRWXU | S_IRWXG | S_IRWXO);

- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- =head1 METHODS
-
- =over 4
-
- =item new ( KEY , FLAGS )
-
- Creates a new message queue associated with C<KEY>. A new queue is
- created if
-
- =over 4
-
- =item *
-
- C<KEY> is equal to C<IPC_PRIVATE>
-
- =item *
-
- C<KEY> does not already have a message queue
- associated with it, and C<I<FLAGS> & IPC_CREAT> is true.
-
- =back
-
- On creation of a new message queue C<FLAGS> is used to set the
- permissions.
-
- =item id
-
- Returns the system message queue identifier.
-
- =item rcv ( BUF, LEN [, TYPE [, FLAGS ]] )
-
- Read a message from the queue. Returns the type of the message read. See
- L<msgrcv>
-
- =item remove
-
- Remove and destroy the message queue from the system.
-
- =item set ( STAT )
-
- =item set ( NAME => VALUE [, NAME => VALUE ...] )
-
- C<set> will set the following values of the C<stat> structure associated
- with the message queue.
-
- uid
- gid
- mode (oly the permission bits)
- qbytes
-
- C<set> accepts either a stat object, as returned by the C<stat> method,
- or a list of I<name>-I<value> pairs.
-
- =item snd ( TYPE, MSG [, FLAGS ] )
-
- Place a message on the queue with the data from C<MSG> and with type C<TYPE>.
- See L<msgsnd>.
-
- =item stat
