23 This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional
24 and object-oriented i/o) on things other than normal filehandles; in
25 particular, IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Lines.
26
27 In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we have IO::AtomicFile which
28 may be used to painlessly create files which are updated atomically.
29
30 And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have IO::Wrap, whose
31 exported wraphandle() function will clothe anything that's not a
32 blessed object in an IO::Handle-like wrapper... so you can just use OO
33 syntax and stop worrying about whether your function's caller handed
34 you a string, a globref, or a FileHandle.
