## msgsnd

    msgsnd id, msg, flags

Calls the System V IPC `msgsnd` system call to send the message msg to the message queue id. msg must begin with the long integer message type. You can create a message like this:

>     $msg = pack "L a*", $type, $text_of_message;

The function returns true if successful, or false if there is an error. On error, it puts the error code into `$!`. Before calling, you should say:

>     require "ipc.ph";
>     require "msg.ph";

This function is available only on machines supporting System V IPC.
