NAME

6       IO - load various IO modules
7

SYNOPSIS

9          use IO qw(Handle File); # loads IO modules, here IO::Handle, IO::File
10          use IO;                 # DEPRECATED
11

DESCRIPTION

13       "IO" provides a simple mechanism to load several of the IO modules in
14       one go.  The IO modules belonging to the core are:
15
16             IO::Handle
17             IO::Seekable
18             IO::File
19             IO::Pipe
20             IO::Socket
21             IO::Dir
22             IO::Select
23             IO::Poll
24
25       Some other IO modules don't belong to the perl core but can be loaded
26       as well if they have been installed from CPAN.  You can discover which
27       ones exist by searching for "^IO::" on http://search.cpan.org.
28
29       For more information on any of these modules, please see its respective
30       documentation.
31

DEPRECATED

33           use IO;                # loads all the modules listed below
34
35       The loaded modules are IO::Handle, IO::Seekable, IO::File, IO::Pipe,
36       IO::Socket, IO::Dir.  You should instead explicitly import the IO
37       modules you want.
