Tie::Handle::Scalar - Perl extension for tieing a scalar to a filehandle.
use Tie::Handle::Scalar;
my $file = "This is a test";
tie *FH, 'Tie::Handle::Scalar', \$file;
print FH "\nAnother line\n\n\n\n";
while (<FH>) {
print;
}
untie FH;
WARNING - This ONLY works with perl version 5.6.0< or above. This may be due to interfaces to handles in older versions of perl not being complete ;) Tie::Handle::Scalar allows you to tie a scalar to a filehandle. Supported and unsupported/untested methods are listed below. I wrote this before I realised there were 2 other modules that do something similar.... IO::Stringy and IO::String. These two may work better for you. But I couldn't get either of them to work with Net::FTP as they don't appear to support the FILENO method.
