The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:

  modid:       IO::VirtualDisk
  DSLIP:       bdpOp
  description: Virtual Disk inside files (Similar to UNIX).
  userid:      GMPASSOS (Gaciliano Monteiro Passos)
  chapterid:   21 (File_Handle_Input_Output)
  communities:
    perlmonks.com, maybe SF.

  similar:
    None that I know.

  rationale:

    Implement a full portable Virtual Disk inside a unique file. The
    access to the files can be directly from comands to the disk object,
    or from a IO handle, like IO::File.

    The architecture of the FS permit the "disk" to have any size, and
    changes (read/write/creation) to a file doesn't affect other files
    inside the disk.

    Since we can access the files of the disk from a PerlIO, like
    IO::File, I think that it needs to be inside IO::. And since it has
    some sub-modules, like the FAT module that control the clusters of
    the FS, I need a namespace.

The resulting entry would be:

IO::
::VirtualDisk     bdpOp Virtual Disk inside files (Similar to UNIX). GMPASSOS
