Completely new to UNIX
This is my first post here, I tried searching the forum and other sites as well - but I still couldn't figure out exactly what UNIX is. I mean like for C programming we Turbo C++ IDE, and in same way different platforms for other languages.
What do we use for UNIX? I'm completely new to UNIX and searching over the sites only made me more confused.. some say it's not a single system, saying things like it comprises Linux, Redhat, etc. But I couldn't understand. I wish to learn working with UNIX and shell programming but I can't figure out - on what?
So, please someone kindly tell me what [software] I should have to work with UNIX.

net::server::proto::unix
Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Net::Server::Proto::UNIX(3)
NAME
Net::Server::Proto::UNIX - Net::Server UNIX protocol.
SYNOPSIS
See Net::Server::Proto.
DESCRIPTION
Protocol module for Net::Server. This module implements the UNIX SOCK_STREAM socket type. See Net::Server::Proto.
Any sockets created during startup will be chown'ed to the user and group specified in the starup arguments.
PARAMETERS
The following paramaters may be specified in addition to normal command line parameters for a Net::Server. See Net::Server for more
information on reading arguments.
unix_type
Can be either SOCK_STREAM or SOCK_DGRAM (default is SOCK_STREAM). This can also be passed on the port line (see Net::Server::Proto).
However, this method is deprecated. If you want SOCK_STREAM - just use proto UNIX without any other arguments. If you'd like
SOCK_DGRAM, use the new proto UNIXDGRAM.
METHODS
NS_unix_path/NS_unix_type
In addition to the standard NS_ methods of Net::Server::Proto classes, the UNIX types also have legacy calls to NS_unix_path and
NS_unix_type.
Since version 2.000, NS_unix_path is simply an alias to NS_port. NS_unix_type is now redundant with NS_proto.
These methods were missing between version 2.000 and 2.003 but have been returned as legacy bridges.
QUICK PARAMETER LIST
Key Value Default
# deprecated UNIX socket parameters
unix_type (SOCK_STREAM|SOCK_DGRAM) SOCK_STREAM
port "filename" undef
# more recent usage
port "filename / UNIX"
port "filename / UNIXDGRAM"
LICENCE
Distributed under the same terms as Net::Server
