NAME
Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah - emulates /dev/zero, /dev/null and /dev/urandom
SYNOPSIS
tie *HANDLE, 'Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah', 'zero';
tie *HANDLE, 'Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah', 'null';
tie *HANDLE, 'Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah', 'urandom';
DESCRIPTION
This module tries to emulate the unix zero, null and urandom devices using tied filehandles. This was made to kill time. I don't think there is a real use for this :)
CAVEATS
Beware of endless loops. On zero, readline
can only succeed if $/ eq "\0".
BUGS
You can write to a urandom device. This is very wrong :)
The README file in this distribution is empty. This is not a bug, but an example of what /dev/null outputs.
