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.
