6 IO::Handle::Iterator - Iterator based read handle

9 IO::Handle::Iterator->new(sub {
10 return $next_line; # or undef on eof
11 });
12
14 This class lets you define a read handle with a few fallback methods
15 (like "read") using a single callback that behaves like "getline".
16
17 This is similar but much simpler than:
18
19 IO::Handle::Prototype::Fallback->new(
20 __read => sub { ... },
21 );
22
23 The reason being that the IO::Handle::Prototype::Fallback
24 implementation will try its very best to behave correctly (i.e. respect
25 the value of $/), whereas this implementation assumes it's fine to
26 return things that aren't exactly lines from "getline", so the values
27 are just passed through.
28
30 When a method that requires buffering is invoked the handle is
31 reblessed to a subclass which handles buffering.
32
33 Calling "getline" again on this object will return the value of the
34 buffer and return to the normal iterator class.
