This is the README file for IO::File::Multi (v 1.02), a simple module to
handle printing to multiple (output) filehandles, with single print() or
printf() calls.

Requires: IO::File (and it's requirements)

Installation: You should know the routine by now...
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install

If for some reason MakeMaker is broken or you have a personal problem with
the make command (seek help), you can just copy Multi.pm into your perl
site directory and everything should be okay.

$mh1->open(">>log"); # append to log file
$mh1->print("This line goes to multiple places!\n");
$mh1->printf("This is just a number: %2.2f\n", 12.535632);
$mh1->close(); # close all filehandles
