I am currently implementing two tied handle classes, one that enables reading of directories similar to reading text files and one the enables reading a list of chronologically sorted syslog files in the same way. While I need this for work (and *yes*, it is urgent), I would be willing to share them, if I can do so without getting into flamewars on coding style and without people sending e-mails about their penises (which actually happened the last I tried reading a Perl-newsgroup). Names could be Tie::Dirstream and Unix::Logstream.
