IO

# These convenience methods are here to process a file as one call.

use Files::IO;

# read() can read in a file as an array of lines (array context) or as a single

# string (scalar context).

@data = Files::read( $filename);# file as array of lines - cr/lf removed

$data = Files::read( $filename);# file as one scalar

# Create or overwrite a file with the provided context. All references

# are automatically dereferenced. Alternatively the content can be

# appended to an existing file. append() behaves identically to save()

# if the file does not exist.

Files::save( $filename, $content, \$content2, @content3, \@content4, ...);

Files::append( $filename, $content, \$content2, @content3, \@content4, ...);
