=head1 NAME
IO-stringy - I/O on in-core objects like strings and arrays
=head1 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
# ...
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional
and object-oriented i/o) on things I<other> than normal filehandles;
in particular, L<IO::Scalar|IO::Scalar>, L<IO::ScalarArray|IO::ScalarArray>,
and L<IO::Lines|IO::Lines>.
In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we
have L<IO::AtomicFile|IO::AtomicFile>
which may be used to painlessly create files which are updated
atomically.
And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have L<IO::Wrap|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.
