24 years agoIO::* enhancements.
Lincoln Stein [Wed, 28 Jul 1999 13:55:05 +0000]
IO::* enhancements.

1) write() and syswrite() will now accept a single-argument
form of the call, for consistency with Perl's syswrite().
2) You can create a TCP-based IO::Socket::INET without forcing
a connect attempt.  This allows you to configure its options
(like making it non-blocking) and then call connect() manually.
3) Fixed a bug that prevented the IO::Socket::protocol() accessor
from ever returning the correct value.
