NAME
IO-stringy - I/O on in-core objects like strings and arrays
SYNOPSIS
use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::AtomicFile; # Write a file which is updated atomically
use IO::InnerFile; # define a file inside another file
use IO::Lines; # I/O handle to read/write to array of lines
use IO::Scalar; # I/O handle to read/write to a string
use IO::ScalarArray; # I/O handle to read/write to array of scalars
use IO::Wrap; # Wrap old-style FHs in standard OO interface
use IO::WrapTie; # Tie your handles & retain full OO interface
# ...
DESCRIPTION
This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional
and object-oriented i/o) on things other than normal filehandles; in
particular, IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Lines.
In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we have IO::AtomicFile which
may be used to painlessly create files which are updated atomically.
And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have IO::Wrap, whose
exported wraphandle() function will clothe anything that's not a blessed
object in an IO::Handle-like wrapper... so you can just use OO syntax
and stop worrying about whether your function's caller handed you a
string, a globref, or a FileHandle.
