NAME
Acme::CPANModules::fgets - fgets() implementations in Perl
VERSION
This document describes version 0.001 of Acme::CPANModules::fgets (from Perl distribution Acme-CPANModules-fgets), released on 2018-02-04.
DESCRIPTION
fgets() implementations in Perl.
Reading a line of data from a filehandle in Perl is easy, but Perl will happily slurp line of any length without limit, even gigabytes which can cause your script or system to run out of memory.
fgets() is a standard I/O C function to get a line of data with a length limit. In many cases you don't need in this Perl but in some cases you do. The lack of built-in fgets() function in Perl (unlike in, say, PHP) is a bit annoying, but no worries because there are several CPAN modules that provide you with just that.
My favorite module is PerlIO::fgets. File::fgets seems to have trouble dealing with piped command. And File::GetLineMaxLength is pure-Perl and so is not as speedy as the XS libraries.
