package IO::Lines;

=head1 NAME

IO::Lines - IO:: interface for reading/writing an array of lines

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use IO::Lines;

### See IO::ScalarArray for details

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This class implements objects which behave just like FileHandle
(or IO::Handle) objects, except that you may use them to write to
(or read from) an array of lines.  They can be tiehandle'd as well.

This is a subclass of L<IO::ScalarArray|IO::ScalarArray> 
in which the underlying
array has its data stored in a line-oriented-format: that is,
every element ends in a C<"\n">, with the possible exception of the
final element.  This makes C<getline()> I<much> more efficient;
if you plan to do line-oriented reading/printing, you want this class.

The C<print()> method will enforce this rule, so you can print
arbitrary data to the line-array: it will break the data at
newlines appropriately.

See L<IO::ScalarArray> for full usage and warnings.
