perl-io-stringy

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.
