Also, I've created a simple perl server:
https://gist.github.com/x-yuri/45f53c16a99337ba0716a988290491bd
And if I put perl-server.socket and perl-server.service into
/usr/lib/systemd/user, and symlink perl-server.socket into
/usr/lib/systemd/user/sockets.target.wants, it autoactivates on boot.
The confusing thing though is:
$ systemctl --user is-enabled perl-server.socket
disabled
Unless your per-server.socket unit has an [Install] section that
corresponds to the manual symlinks you've made, the is-enabled test will
fail.
Ultimately the [Install] section is just instructions to "systemctl
[--user] enable|disable" to create/delete these symlinks for you as needed.
These same hints are used by is-enabled to check whether it is enabled.
If you don't have the correct [Install] section, it won't know by which
route it ultimately becomes enabled if you do the links manually.
Hope that helps explain things.
