- If you have access to tie(), these classes will make use of the
-IO::WrapTie module to inherit a convenient new_tie() constructor.
-It also exports a nice wraptie() function.
+ This Perl module provides the following functions :
- 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.
+ IO::AtomicFile Write a file which is updated atomically
+ IO::Lines I/O handle to read/write to array of lines
+ IO::Scalar I/O handle to read/write to a string
+ IO::ScalarArray I/O handle to read/write to array of scalars
+ IO::Wrap Wrap old-style FHs in standard OO interface
+ IO::WrapTie Tie your handles & retain full OO interface
