well seeing as im a n00b to UNIX to i can only answer a couple of your questions..
UNIX is basically the OS for mac os X like DOS is to windows however..its better LINUX is a free upgraded version of UNIX so there almost the same thing.. UNIX can be ussed for many things as a text editor and organizer you can print from UNIX and you can see many things like who has accesed your account and even host mini chats over it. some basics for UNIX you probaly should know are the 4 text editors ( for lack of a better term) they are vi, emacs , ed and pico. They all come with there own cool little things. i like using pico for typing anyways also you should know that the command rm can be used to delete or rename
EX: rm test1 (deletes file test1)
or rm test1 test2 (renames test1 to test 2)
to move around in UNIX you can use the cd command for example to move to your bin directory you could type
cd bin. opening files you should be familer with, to open a file just type open filename
as for all your other questions i do not know the answer to, hope that helps good luck

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
