perl-io-all

Description

IO::All combines all of the best Perl IO modules into a single nifty
object oriented interface to greatly simplify your everyday Perl IO
idioms. It exports a single function called io, which returns a new
IO::All object. And that object can do it all! The IO::All object is a
proxy for IO::File, IO::Dir, IO::Socket, Tie::File, File::Spec,
File::Path, File::MimeInfo and File::ReadBackwards; as well as all the
DBM and MLDBM modules. You can use most of the methods found in these
classes and in IO::Handle (which they inherit from). IO::All adds dozens
of other helpful idiomatic methods including file stat and manipulation
functions. IO::All is pluggable, and modules like IO::All::LWP and
IO::All::Mailto add even more functionality. Optionally, every IO::All
object can be tied to itself. This means that you can use most perl IO
builtins on it: readline, <>, getc, print, printf, syswrite, sysread,
close.
