So I'm going to fix this in two ways. One to add support to that constructor (and the Dpkg::Substvar one) to take either a scalar or a hash as argument. And if the hash has a filename => undef, then it will not load the file. Probably deprecate the sclar form in the future. And by changing Dpkg::Interface::Storable's load()/save() to allow passing an IO handle to the method, so that one can do something like: my $ci = Dpkg::Control::Info->new($fh); $ci->load($fh); Does this sound good?
