A class providing an object based interface to SysV \s-1IPC\s0 message queues.

associated with it, and \f(CW\*(C`\f(CI\s-1FLAGS\s0\f(CW & IPC_CREAT\*(C'\fR is true.
On creation of a new message queue \f(CW\*(C`FLAGS\*(C'\fR is used to set the

Read a message from the queue. Returns the type of the message read.
See msgrcv. The \s-1BUF\s0 becomes tainted.
Remove and destroy the message queue from the system.

Place a message on the queue with the data from \f(CW\*(C`MSG\*(C'\fR and with type \f(CW\*(C`TYPE\*(C'\fR.
Returns an object of type \f(CW\*(C`IPC::Msg::stat\*(C'\fR which is a sub-class of

of these fields see you system documentation.
