IO::All combines all of the best Perl IO modules into a single nifty object
|
|
oriented interface to greatly simplify your everyday Perl IO idioms. 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.
