| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 1 This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 2 and object-oriented i/o) on things other than normal filehandles; |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 3 in particular, IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Lines. |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 4 |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 5 In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we have IO::AtomicFile which |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 6 may be used to painlessly create files which are updated atomically. |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 7 |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 8 And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have IO::Wrap, whose |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 9 exported wraphandle() function will clothe anything that's not a blessed |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 10 object in an IO::Handle-like wrapper... so you can just use OO syntax |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 11 and stop worrying about whether your function's caller handed you a string, |
| Hans-G?nter@24223 | 12 a globref, or a FileHandle. |
