NAME

       IO - load various IO modules

SYNOPSIS

          use IO qw(Handle File); # loads IO modules, here IO::Handle, IO::File
          use IO;                 # DEPRECATED

DESCRIPTION

       "IO" provides a simple mechanism to load several of the IO modules in one go.  The IO
       modules belonging to the core are:

             IO::Handle
             IO::Seekable
             IO::File
             IO::Pipe
             IO::Socket
             IO::Dir
             IO::Select
             IO::Poll

       Some other IO modules don't belong to the perl core but can be loaded as well if they have
       been installed from CPAN.  You can discover which ones exist by searching for "^IO::" on
       http://search.cpan.org.

       For more information on any of these modules, please see its respective documentation.

DEPRECATED

           use IO;                # loads all the modules listed below

       The loaded modules are IO::Handle, IO::Seekable, IO::File, IO::Pipe, IO::Socket, IO::Dir.
       You should instead explicitly import the IO modules you want.
