The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Socket::MsgHdr
DSLIP: bdhOa
description: sendmsg, recvmsg and cmsghdr
userid: MJP (Michael J. Pomraning)
chapterid: 5 (Networking_Devices_IPC)
communities:
similar:
Socket IO::Socket File::FDPasser
rationale:
Extant modules either don't present or don't fully present
message/control capabilities of modern socket implementations.
(N.B.: Socket::MsgHdr also scribbles (send|recv)msg into the
IO::Socket namespace, for people who prefer that sort of thing.)
Other names for this module in previous, unreleased incarnations
(Socket::SendRecvMsg, IO::Message, others.) didn't quite fit, were
misleading, or lead to namespace proliferation.
The chosen namespace should be somewhat intuitive -- struct msghdr
becomes ...::MsgHdr object. cmsghdrs are kept as mundane datatypes
(no blessed ...::CMsgHdr, at least, not yet).

The resulting entry would be:
