Summary : Emulate file interface for in-core strings
URL : http://search.cpan.org/dist/IO-String/
License : GPL+ or Artistic
Description : The "IO::String" module provides the "IO::File" interface for in-core
: strings. An "IO::String" object can be attached to a string, and
: makes it possible to use the normal file operations for reading or
: writing data, as well as for seeking to various locations of the
: string. This is useful when you want to use a library module that
: only provides an interface to file handles on data that you have in a
: string variable.
:
: Note that perl-5.8 and better has built-in support for "in memory"
: files, which are set up by passing a reference instead of a filename
: to the open() call. The reason for using this module is that it makes
: the code backwards compatible with older versions of Perl.
