PerlIO::scalar − support module for in−memory IO.
open($fh,"<",\$scalar); open($fh,">",\$scalar);
or
open($fh,"<:scalar",\$scalar); open($fh,">:scalar",\$scalar);
"PerlIO::scalar" only exists to use XSLoader to load C code that provides support for treating a scalar as an "in memory" file.
All normal file operations can be performed on the handle. The scalar is considered a stream of bytes. Currently fileno($fh) returns "undef".
