4 XSLoader::load 'PerlIO::scalar';
10 PerlIO::scalar - support module for in-memory IO.
14 open($fh,"<...",\$scalar);
18 C<PerlIO::scalar> only exists to use XSLoader to load C code that provides
19 support for treating a scalar as an "in memory" file.
21 All normal file operations can be performed on the handle. The scalar
22 is considered a stream of bytes. Currently fileno($fh) returns C<undef>.
