+<A NAME="DESCRIPTION"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> DESCRIPTION</H2></A>
+
+
+<P>This class implements objects which behave just like FileHandle
+(or IO::Handle) objects, except that you may use them to write to
+(or read from) an array of lines. They can be tiehandle'd as well.
+
+
+<P>This is a subclass of <A HREF="../IO/ScalarArray.pm.html">IO::ScalarArray</A>
+in which the underlying
+array has its data stored in a line-oriented-format: that is,
+every element ends in a <CODE>"\n"</CODE>, with the possible exception of the
+final element. This makes <CODE>getline()</CODE> <I>much</I> more efficient;
+if you plan to do line-oriented reading/printing, you want this class.
+
+
+<P>The <CODE>print()</CODE> method will enforce this rule, so you can print
+arbitrary data to the line-array: it will break the data at
+newlines appropriately.
+
+
+<P>See <A HREF="../IO/ScalarArray.pm.html">IO::ScalarArray</A> for full usage and warnings.
