perlio::scalar(3)
NAME
PerlIO::scalar - support module for in-memory IO.
SYNOPSIS
open($fh,"<",calar); open($fh,">",calar); or open($fh,"<:scalar",calar); open($fh,">:scalar",calar);
DESCRIPTION
"PerlIO::scalar" only exists to use XSLoader to load C
code that provides support for treating a scalar as an "in
memory" file.
- All normal file operations can be performed on the handle.
The scalar is considered a stream of bytes. Currently
fileno($fh) returns "undef".
