Mail::Box::FastScalar(3pm)     User Contributed Perl Documentation     Mail::Box::FastScalar(3pm)



NAME
       Mail::Box::FastScalar - fast alternative to IO::Scalar

DESCRIPTION
       Contributed by "Todd Richmond" (richmond AT proofpoint.com)  This package should be released
       as separate package, but till then is incorporated in the Mail::Box module.

       Extremely fast IO::Scalar replacement - >20x improvement in getline(s)()

   Warnings
       You cannot modify the original reference between calls unless you "$obj-"seek(1, 0)> to
       reset the object - VERY rare usage case

       $/ must be undef or string - "" and \scalar unimplemented

SEE ALSO
       This module is part of Mail-Box distribution version 2.117, built on August 24, 2014.
