+<P>IO::Scalar - IO:: interface for reading/writing a scalar
+
+
+
+<P><HR>
+<A NAME="SYNOPSIS"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> SYNOPSIS</H2></A>
+
+
+<P>Perform I/O on strings, using the basic OO interface...
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ use 5.005;
+ use IO::Scalar;
+ $data = "My message:\n";
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open a handle on a string, and append to it:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar \$data;
+ $SH->print("Hello");
+ $SH->print(", world!\nBye now!\n");
+ print "The string is now: ", $data, "\n";
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open a handle on a string, read it line-by-line, then close it:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar \$data;
+ while (defined($_ = $SH->getline)) {
+ print "Got line: $_";
+ }
+ $SH->close;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open a handle on a string, and slurp in all the lines:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar \$data;
+ print "All lines:\n", $SH->getlines;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Get the current position (either of two ways):
+ $pos = $SH->getpos;
+ $offset = $SH->tell;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Set the current position (either of two ways):
+ $SH->setpos($pos);
+ $SH->seek($offset, 0);
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open an anonymous temporary scalar:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar;
+ $SH->print("Hi there!");
+ print "I printed: ", ${$SH->sref}, "\n"; ### get at value
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>Don't like OO for your I/O? No problem.
+Thanks to the magic of an invisible tie(), the following now
+works out of the box, just as it does with IO::Handle:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ use 5.005;
+ use IO::Scalar;
+ $data = "My message:\n";
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open a handle on a string, and append to it:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar \$data;
+ print $SH "Hello";
+ print $SH ", world!\nBye now!\n";
+ print "The string is now: ", $data, "\n";
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open a handle on a string, read it line-by-line, then close it:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar \$data;
+ while (<$SH>) {
+ print "Got line: $_";
+ }
+ close $SH;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open a handle on a string, and slurp in all the lines:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar \$data;
+ print "All lines:\n", <$SH>;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Get the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
+ $offset = tell $SH;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Set the current position (WARNING: requires 5.6):
+ seek $SH, $offset, 0;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Open an anonymous temporary scalar:
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar;
+ print $SH "Hi there!";
+ print "I printed: ", ${$SH->sref}, "\n"; ### get at value
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>And for you folks with 1.x code out there: the old tie() style still works,
+though this is <I>unnecessary and deprecated</I>:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ use IO::Scalar;
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Writing to a scalar...
+ my $s;
+ tie *OUT, 'IO::Scalar', \$s;
+ print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
+ print "String is now: $s\n"
+</PRE></FONT>
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ ### Reading and writing an anonymous scalar...
+ tie *OUT, 'IO::Scalar';
+ print OUT "line 1\nline 2\n", "line 3\n";
+ tied(OUT)->seek(0,0);
+ while (<OUT>) {
+ print "Got line: ", $_;
+ }
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>Stringification works, too!
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ my $SH = new IO::Scalar \$data;
+ print $SH "Hello, ";
+ print $SH "world!";
+ print "I printed: $SH\n";
+</PRE></FONT>

+<A NAME="DESCRIPTION"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> DESCRIPTION</H2></A>
+
+
+<P>This class is part of the IO::Stringy distribution;
+see <A HREF="../IO/Stringy.pm.html">IO::Stringy</A> for change log and general information.
+
+
+<P>The IO::Scalar class implements objects which behave just like
+IO::Handle (or FileHandle) objects, except that you may use them
+to write to (or read from) scalars. These handles are
+automatically tiehandle'd (though please see <A HREF="#WARNINGS">WARNINGS</A>
+for information relevant to your Perl version).
+
+
+<P>Basically, this:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ my $s;
+ $SH = new IO::Scalar \$s;
+ $SH->print("Hel", "lo, "); ### OO style
+ $SH->print("world!\n"); ### ditto
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>Or this:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ my $s;
+ $SH = tie *OUT, 'IO::Scalar', \$s;
+ print OUT "Hel", "lo, "; ### non-OO style
+ print OUT "world!\n"; ### ditto
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>Causes $s to be set to:
+
+<FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
+ "Hello, world!\n"

+
+
+<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 will not work
+prior to 5.005_57. IO::Scalar will not have the relevant methods
+invoked; 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>
+ attempt to seek on unopened filehandle
+</PRE></FONT>
+
+<P>...then you are probably trying to use one of these functions
+on an IO::Scalar 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><A HREF="../IO/String.pm.html">IO::String</A>, which is quite similar but which was designed

+so you could mix OO- and native-filehandle usage without using tied().
+
+
+<P><I>Note:</I> as of version 2.x, these classes all work like
