     1.4 +This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional
     1.5 +and object-oriented i/o) on things other than normal filehandles;
     1.6 +in particular, IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Lines.
     1.7 +
     1.8 +In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we have IO::AtomicFile which
     1.9 +may be used to painlessly create files which are updated atomically.
    1.10 +
    1.11 +And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have IO::Wrap, whose
    1.12 +exported wraphandle() function will clothe anything that's not a blessed
    1.13 +object in an IO::Handle-like wrapper... so you can just use OO syntax
    1.14 +and stop worrying about whether your function's caller handed you a string,
    1.15 +a globref, or a FileHandle.
