BTW I see factual error - " In Perl 5.8.0 a new I/O framework called "PerlIO" was introduced." it was introduced in 5.6.0, or may be earlier... I don't see this section in 5.6.1's perlopentut (obviously). This factual error was added later in consequent modernizations. > Here's one idea in that direction; it's just a sketch, but > the final version should not be much more complicated.
