A class implementing a tied filehandle should define the following
methods: TIEHANDLE, at least one of PRINT, PRINTF, WRITE, READLINE, GETC,
-READ, and possibly CLOSE and DESTROY.
+READ, and possibly CLOSE and DESTROY. The class can also provide: BINMODE,
+OPEN, EOF, FILENO, SEEK, TELL - if the corresponding perl operators are
+used on the handle.
It is especially useful when perl is embedded in some other program,
where output to STDOUT and STDERR may have to be redirected in some
no more valid references; and thus the file is closed.
In the second example, however, we have stored another reference to
-the tied object in C<$x>. That means that when untie() gets called
+the tied object in $x. That means that when untie() gets called
there will still be a valid reference to the object in existence, so
the destructor is not called at that time, and thus the file is not
closed. The reason there is no output is because the file buffers
