I have just uploaded to CPAN a new release of the IO distribution.

IO is a collection of perl modules which encapsulate all input
and output subroutines into object classes. These include

 IO::Handle    -- IO base class
 IO::File      -- File IO class (FileHandle replacement)
 IO::Pipe      -- Pipe IO class
 IO::Seekable  -- Methods for seekable IO handles
 IO::Select    -- IO handle select class (ala unix system select)
 IO::Socket    -- Socket IO class

This release contains the following changes to the previous release

       o Updated PODs for IO::Handle and IO::File
       o Modified IO.xs so that DESTROY gets called on IO::File
         objects that were created with IO::File->new_tmpfile
       o Modified the domain2pkg code in IO::Socket so that it
         does not use blessd refs
       o Created a new package IO::Pipe::End so that pipe specific
         stuff can be moved out of IO::Handle.
       o Added Ilya's OS/2 changes to Pipe.pm and io_pipe.t

It should be avaliable on mirror sites soon.

Comments are always very welcome.
