Summary: Perl module for I/O on in-core objects like strings and arrays

Description:
This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing both traditional
and object-oriented i/o) on things *other* than normal filehandles; in
particular, the IO::Scalar manpage, the IO::ScalarArray manpage, and the
IO::Lines manpage.

If you have access to tie(), these classes will make use of the the
IO::WrapTie manpage module to inherit a convenient new_tie()
constructor. It also exports a nice wraptie() function.

In the more-traditional IO::Handle front, we have the IO::AtomicFile
manpage which may be used to painlessly create files which are updated
atomically.

And in the "this-may-prove-useful" corner, we have the IO::Wrap manpage,
whose exported wraphandle() function will clothe anything that's not a
blessed object in an IO::Handle-like wrapper... so you can just use OO
syntax and stop worrying about whether your function's caller handed you
a string, a globref, or a FileHandle.
