Using alert_unixsock

["Joshua Berry" <jberry () PENSON COM>]

Has anyone on the list used perl in combination with the alert_unixsock
output module for snort?  

If so could I see some of the code, I am having some issues.  Also, do
you have to manually create the socket, snort fails if I don't create
the socket myself giving this error: 
        /var/log/snort/snort_alert file doesn't exist or isn't writable!

I saw that someone had posted that on BSD systems you have to create the
socket file yourself but I am using a linux box.

System profile:

Slackware Linux 10.0, Snort 2.2.0
