NAME
    Net::IMAP::Simple::PipeSocket - a little wrapper around IPC-Open3 that feels like a socket

SYNOPSIS
    This module is really just a wrapper around IPC-Open3 that can be dropped in place of a socket
    handle. The Net::IMAP::Simple code assumes the socket is always a socket and is never a pipe and
    re-writing it all would be horrible.

    This abstraction is used only for that purpose.
