+This is the Debian GNU/Linux libio-stringy-perl version of the IO-stringy
+package by Eryq <eryq@zeegee.com>. IO-stringy provides Perl modules for I/O
+from scalar variables or arrays of scalars.
+
+This package was put together by Dirk Eddelbuettel <edd@debian.org>
+from sources obtained from
+ http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/Eryq/IO-stringy-1.207.tar.gz
+It is also available from every other CPAN mirror. Visit
+ http://www.perl.com/CPAN/
+to find a Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) site near you.
+
+The only change for the Debian package was the addition of the debian/
+files. The package was renamed to match the Debian Policy which aims
+at consistent names for Perl Module packages.
