It exports +a single function called io, which returns a new IO::All object. And that +object can do it all! + +The IO::All object is a proxy for IO::File, IO::Dir, IO::Socket, Tie::File, +File::Spec, File::Path, File::MimeInfo and File::ReadBackwards; as well as all +the DBM and MLDBM modules. You can use most of the methods found in these +classes and in IO::Handle (which they inherit from). IO::All adds dozens of +other helpful idiomatic methods including file stat and manipulation functions. + +IO::All is pluggable, and modules like IO::All::LWP and IO::All::Mailto add +even more functionality. Optionally, every IO::All object can be tied to +itself. This means that you can use most perl IO builtins on it: readline, +<>, getc, print, printf, syswrite, sysread, close. + +The distinguishing magic of IO::All is that it will automatically open (and +close) files, directories, sockets and other IO things for you. You never need +to specify the mode (<, >>, etc), since it is determined by the usage context. -- cgit v1.2.3
