NAME

IO::Moose - Reimplementation of IO::* with improvements

SYNOPSIS

  use IO::Moose 'Handle', 'File';  # loads IO::Moose::* modules

  $passwd = IO::Moose::File->new( file => '/etc/passwd' )->slurp;

DESCRIPTION

IO::Moose provides a simple mechanism to load several modules in one go.

IO::Moose::* classes provide an interface mostly compatible with IO. The differences:

  • It is based on Moose object framework.

  • It uses Exception::Base for signaling errors. Most of methods are throwing exception on failure.

  • The modifiers like input_record_separator are supported on per file handler basis.

  • It also implements additional methods like say, slurp.

IMPORTS

use IO::Moose [modules]

Loads a modules from IO::Moose::* hierarchy. I.e. Handle parameter loads IO::Moose::Handle module.

  use IO::Moose 'Handle', 'File';  # loads IO::Moose::Handle and ::File.

If modules list is empty, it loads following modules at default:

BUGS

The API is not stable yet and can be changed in future.
