=head1 NAME

Email::Send::IO - Send messages using IO operations

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Email::Send;

  my $mailer = Email::Send->new({mailer => 'IO'});

  $mailer->send($message); # To STDERR

  $mailer->mailer_args('filename.txt');
  $mailer->send($message); # write file

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is a mailer for C<Email::Send> that will send a message using IO
operations. By default it sends mail to STDERR, very useful for debugging.
The IO functionality is built upon C<IO::All>. Any additional arguments
passed to C<send> will be used as arguments to C<IO::All::io>.

You can globally change where IO is sent by modifying the C<@Email::Send::IO::IO>
package variable.

  @Email::Send::IO::IO = ('-'); # always append to STDOUT.

=head2 Examples

Sending to STDOUT.

  send IO => $message, '-';

Send to a socket.

  send IO => $message, 'server:1337';
