Iterator::IO version 0.02
=========================
This module provides some file and filesystem iterators.
See the "Iterator" module for more information on what an iterator
is, and how to use it.
EXAMPLES
Read a file, line by line:
$fh = ifile ($filename);
while ($fh->isnt_exhausted)
{
$line = $fh->value;
# do something with $line
}
Read a file, line by line, in reverse order:
$fh = ifile_reverse ($filename);
while ($fh->isnt_exhausted)
{
$line = $fh->value;
# do something with $line
}
Read a directory listing, entry by entry:
$dh = idir_listing ($path);
while ($dh->isnt_exhausted)
{
$filename = $dh->value;
# do something with $filename
}
DEVELOPMENT STATE
This is a brand-new module. It has a decent test suite, but has
not been extensively field-tested. Therefore, it should be considered
"beta" software, and used with care.
If you find any bugs, or if any behavior of Iterator surprises you,
I would be grateful if you could send me an email message about it.
Thanks.
