+<A NAME="DESCRIPTION"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> DESCRIPTION</H2></A>
+
+
+<P>This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional
+and object-oriented i/o) on things <I>other</I> than normal filehandles;
+in particular, <A HREF="../IO/Scalar.pm.html">IO::Scalar</A>, <A HREF="../IO/ScalarArray.pm.html">IO::ScalarArray</A>,
+and <A HREF="../IO/Lines.pm.html">IO::Lines</A>.
+
+
+<P>In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we
+have <A HREF="../IO/AtomicFile.pm.html">IO::AtomicFile</A>
+which may be used to painlessly create files which are updated
+atomically.
+
+
+<P>And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have <A HREF="../IO/Wrap.pm.html">IO::Wrap</A>,
+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.
+
+
+
+<P><HR>
+<A NAME="WARNINGS"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> WARNINGS</H2></A>
+
+
+<P>Perl's TIEHANDLE spec was incomplete prior to 5.005_57;
+it was missing support for <CODE>seek()</CODE>, <CODE>tell()</CODE>, and <CODE>eof()</CODE>.
+Attempting to use these functions with an IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray,
+IO::Lines, etc. <B>will not work</B> prior to 5.005_57.
+None of the relevant methods will be invoked by Perl;
+and even worse, this kind of bug can lie dormant for a while.
+If you turn warnings on (via <CODE>$^W</CODE> or <CODE>perl -w</CODE>), and you see
+something like this...
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ seek() on unopened file
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>...then you are probably trying to use one of these functions
+on one of our IO:: classes with an old Perl. The remedy is to simply
+use the OO version; e.g.:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ $SH->seek(0,0); ### GOOD: will work on any 5.005
+ seek($SH,0,0); ### WARNING: will only work on 5.005_57 and beyond

+<P>For everyone else out there...
+if you've never installed Perl code before, or you're trying to use

+interesting things, <B>relax:</B> since this module contains no binary
+extensions, you can cheat. That means copying the directory tree
+under my "./lib" directory into someplace where your script can "see"
+it. For example, under Linux:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ cp -r IO-stringy-1.234/lib/* /path/to/my/perl/
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>Now, in your Perl code, do this:

+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ use lib "/path/to/my/perl";
+ use IO::Scalar; ### or whatever
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>Ok, now you've been told. At this point, anyone who whines about

+Graham Barr submitted this patch half a <I>year</I> ago;
+Like a moron, I lost his message under a ton of others,
+and only now have the experimental implementation done.
+
+
+<P>Will the sudden sensitivity to $/ hose anyone out there?
+I'm worried, so you have to enable it explicitly in 1.x.
+It will be on by default in 2.x, though only IO::Scalar

+<DD>
+Binkley sent me a very interesting variant of IO::Scalar which
+maintains two separate cursors on the data, one for reading
+and one for writing. Quoth he:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ Isn't it the case that real operating system file descriptors
+ maintain an independent read and write file position (and
+ seek(2) resets them both)?
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>(My answer: perhaps, but stdio's fseek/ftell manpages seem to
+imply a single file position indicator, and I'm trying to be IO::-ish.)
+Binkley also pointed out some issues with his implementation:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ For example, what does eof or tell return? The read position or
+ the write position? (I assumed read position was more important).
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>Your opinions on this are most welcome.
+(Me, I'm just squeamish that this will break some code
+which depends on the existing behavior, and that attempts to
+maintain backwards-compatibility will slow down the code.)

+<DD>
+It's not needed. Backwards compatibility could be maintained
+by having new_tie() be identical to new(). Heck, I'll bet
+that IO::WrapTie should be reimplemented so the returned
+object is just like an IO::Scalar in its use of globrefs.

+After sober consideration I have reimplemented IO::Scalar::print()
+so that it once again always seeks to the end of the string.
+Benchmarks show the new implementation to be just as fast as
+Juergen's contributed patch; until someone can convince me otherwise,
+the current, safer implementation stays.
+
+
+<P>I thought more about giving IO::Scalar two separate handles,
+one for reading and one for writing, as suggested by Binkley.
+His points about what tell() and eof() return are, I think,
+show-stoppers for this feature. Even the manpages for stdio's fseek()
+seem to imply a <I>single</I> file position indicator, not two.
+So I think I will take this off the TO DO list.
+<B>Remedy:</B> you can always have two handles open on the same
+scalar, one which you only write to, and one which you only read from.
+That should give the same effect.

+<B>Alpha release.</B>
+This is the initial release of the "IO::Scalar and friends are
+now subclasses of IO::Handle". I'm flinging it against the wall.
+Please tell me if the banana sticks. When it does, the banana
+will be called 2.2x.
+
+
+<P>First off, <I>many many thanks to Doug Wilson</I>, who
+has provided an <I>invaluable</I> service by patching IO::Scalar
+and friends so that they (1) inherit from IO::Handle, (2) automatically
+tie themselves so that the <CODE>new()</CODE> objects can be used in native i/o
+constructs, and (3) doing it so that the whole damn thing passes
+its regression tests. As Doug knows, my globref Kung-Fu was not
+up to the task; he graciously provided the patches. This has earned
+him a seat at the <A HREF="#AUTHOR">Co-Authors</A> table, and the
+right to have me address him as <I>sensei</I>.
+
+
+<P>Performance of IO::Scalar::print() has been improved by as much as 2x
+for lots of little prints, with the cost of forcing those
+who print-then-seek-then-print to explicitly seek to end-of-string
+before printing again.
+<I>Thanks to Juergen Zeller for this patch.</I>
+
+
+<P>Added the COPYING file, which had been missing from prior versions.
+<I>Thanks to Albert Chin-A-Young for pointing this out.</I>
+
+
+<P>IO::Scalar consults $/ by default (1.x ignored it by default).
+Yes, I still need to support IO::ScalarArray.
