* Package name : libio-detect-perl Version : 0.004 Upstream Author : Toby Inkster <toby...@cpan.org> * URL : https://metacpan.org/release/IO-Detect * License : Artistic or GPL-1+ Programming Lang: Perl Description : resolve file name from file handle It is stupidly complicated to detect whether a given scalar is a filehandle (or something filehandle like) in Perl. IO::Handle attempts to do so, but probably falls short in some cases. The primary advantage of using this module is that it gives you somebody to blame (me) if your code can't detect a filehandle. . The main use case for IO::Detect is for when you are writing functions and you want to allow the caller to pass a file as an argument without being fussy as to whether they pass a file name or a file handle. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
