73 <A NAME="DESCRIPTION"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> DESCRIPTION</H2></A>
76 <P>This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional
77 and object-oriented i/o) on things <I>other</I> than normal filehandles;
78 in particular, <A HREF="../IO/Scalar.pm.html">IO::Scalar</A>, <A HREF="../IO/ScalarArray.pm.html">IO::ScalarArray</A>,
79 and <A HREF="../IO/Lines.pm.html">IO::Lines</A>.
82 <P>In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we
83 have <A HREF="../IO/AtomicFile.pm.html">IO::AtomicFile</A>
84 which may be used to painlessly create files which are updated
88 <P>And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have <A HREF="../IO/Wrap.pm.html">IO::Wrap</A>,
89 whose exported wraphandle() function will clothe anything that's not
90 a blessed object in an IO::Handle-like wrapper... so you can just
91 use OO syntax and stop worrying about whether your function's caller
92 handed you a string, a globref, or a FileHandle.
97 <A NAME="WARNINGS"><H2><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h1bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> WARNINGS</H2></A>
100 <P>Perl's TIEHANDLE spec was incomplete prior to 5.005_57;
101 it was missing support for <CODE>seek()</CODE>, <CODE>tell()</CODE>, and <CODE>eof()</CODE>.
102 Attempting to use these functions with an IO::Scalar, IO::ScalarArray,
103 IO::Lines, etc. <B>will not work</B> prior to 5.005_57.
104 None of the relevant methods will be invoked by Perl;
105 and even worse, this kind of bug can lie dormant for a while.
106 If you turn warnings on (via <CODE>$^W</CODE> or <CODE>perl -w</CODE>), and you see
107 something like this...
109 <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
110 seek() on unopened file
113 <P>...then you are probably trying to use one of these functions
114 on one of our IO:: classes with an old Perl. The remedy is to simply
115 use the OO version; e.g.:
117 <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
118 $SH->seek(0,0); ### GOOD: will work on any 5.005
119 seek($SH,0,0); ### WARNING: will only work on 5.005_57 and beyond

129 <A NAME="Requirements"><H3><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h2bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> Requirements</H3></A>
132 <P>As of version 2.x, this toolkit requires Perl 5.005 for
133 the IO::Handle subclasses, and 5.005_57 or better is
134 <B>strongly</B> recommended. See <A HREF="#WARNINGS">WARNINGS</A> for details.
139 <A NAME="Directions"><H3><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/h2bullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> Directions</H3></A>
142 <P>Most of you already know the drill...
144 <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
151 <P>For everyone else out there...
152 if you've never installed Perl code before, or you're trying to use
153 this in an environment where your sysadmin or ISP won't let you do
154 interesting things, <B>relax:</B> since this module contains no binary
155 extensions, you can cheat. That means copying the directory tree
156 under my "./lib" directory into someplace where your script can "see"
157 it. For example, under Linux:
159 <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
160 cp -r IO-stringy-1.234/lib/* /path/to/my/perl/
163 <P>Now, in your Perl code, do this:
165 <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
166 use lib "/path/to/my/perl";
167 use IO::Scalar; ### or whatever
170 <P>Ok, now you've been told. At this point, anyone who whines about
171 not being given enough information gets an unflattering haiku
172 written about them in the next change log. I'll do it.

193 Graham Barr submitted this patch half a <I>year</I> ago;
194 Like a moron, I lost his message under a ton of others,
195 and only now have the experimental implementation done.
198 <P>Will the sudden sensitivity to $/ hose anyone out there?
199 I'm worried, so you have to enable it explicitly in 1.x.
200 It will be on by default in 2.x, though only IO::Scalar
201 has been implemented.
203 <P><DT><B><A NAME="item:2000_09_28_Separate_read_write_cursors">(2000/09/28) Separate read/write cursors?</A></B></DT>
205 Binkley sent me a very interesting variant of IO::Scalar which
206 maintains two separate cursors on the data, one for reading
207 and one for writing. Quoth he:
209 <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
210 Isn't it the case that real operating system file descriptors
211 maintain an independent read and write file position (and
212 seek(2) resets them both)?
215 <P>(My answer: perhaps, but stdio's fseek/ftell manpages seem to
216 imply a single file position indicator, and I'm trying to be IO::-ish.)
217 Binkley also pointed out some issues with his implementation:
219 <FONT SIZE=3 FACE="courier"><PRE>
220 For example, what does eof or tell return? The read position or
221 the write position? (I assumed read position was more important).
224 <P>Your opinions on this are most welcome.
225 (Me, I'm just squeamish that this will break some code
226 which depends on the existing behavior, and that attempts to
227 maintain backwards-compatibility will slow down the code.)
229 <P><DT><B><A NAME="item:2001_08_08_Remove_IO_WrapTie_from_new_IO_classes">(2001/08/08) Remove IO::WrapTie from new IO:: classes</A></B></DT>
231 It's not needed. Backwards compatibility could be maintained
232 by having new_tie() be identical to new(). Heck, I'll bet
233 that IO::WrapTie should be reimplemented so the returned
234 object is just like an IO::Scalar in its use of globrefs.

254 The terms-of-use have been placed in the distribution file "COPYING".
255 Also, small documentation tweaks were made.

259 Added support for various seek() whences to IO::ScalarArray.
262 <P>Added support for consulting $/ in IO::Scalar and IO::ScalarArray.
263 The old <CODE>use_RS()</CODE> is not even an option.
264 Unsupported record separators will cause a croak().
267 <P>Added a lot of regression tests to supoprt the above.
270 <P>Better on-line docs (hyperlinks to individual functions).
272 <P><DT><B><A HREF="#__TOP__"><IMG SRC="icons/itembullet.gif" ALT="Top" BORDER="0"></A> <A NAME="item:Version"><A NAME="item:Version_2_103_2001_08_08">Version 2.103 (2001/08/08)</A></A></B></DT>
274 After sober consideration I have reimplemented IO::Scalar::print()
275 so that it once again always seeks to the end of the string.
276 Benchmarks show the new implementation to be just as fast as
277 Juergen's contributed patch; until someone can convince me otherwise,
278 the current, safer implementation stays.
281 <P>I thought more about giving IO::Scalar two separate handles,
282 one for reading and one for writing, as suggested by Binkley.
283 His points about what tell() and eof() return are, I think,
284 show-stoppers for this feature. Even the manpages for stdio's fseek()
285 seem to imply a <I>single</I> file position indicator, not two.
286 So I think I will take this off the TO DO list.
287 <B>Remedy:</B> you can always have two handles open on the same
288 scalar, one which you only write to, and one which you only read from.
289 That should give the same effect.

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

327 I threatened in <A HREF="#INSTALLATION">INSTALLATION</A> to write an unflattering haiku

339 Added untested SEEK, TELL, and EOF methods to IO::Scalar
340 and IO::ScalarArray to support corresponding functions for
341 tied filehandles: untested, because I'm still running 5.00556
342 and Perl is complaining about "tell() on unopened file".
343 <I>Thanks to Graham Barr for the suggestion.</I>
346 <P>Removed not-fully-blank lines from modules; these were causing

373 <B>IO::Scalar and IO::ScalarArray now inherit from IO::Handle.</B>
374 I thought I'd remembered a problem with this ages ago, related to
375 the fact that these IO:: modules don't have "real" filehandles,
376 but the problem apparently isn't surfacing now.
377 If you suddenly encounter Perl warnings during global destruction
378 (especially if you're using tied filehandles), then please let me know!
379 <I>Thanks to B. K. Oxley (binkley) for this.</I>
382 <P><B>Nasty bug fixed in IO::Scalar::write().</B>
383 Apparently, the offset and the number-of-bytes arguments were,
384 for all practical purposes, <I>reversed.</I> You were okay if
385 you did all your writing with print(), but boy was <I>this</I> a stupid bug!
