NAME
       IO - load various IO modules

SYNOPSIS
	  use IO qw(Handle File); # loads IO modules, here IO::Handle, IO::File
	  use IO;		  # DEPRECATED

DESCRIPTION
       "IO" provides a simple mechanism to load several of the IO modules in one go.  The IO modules belonging to the core are:

	     IO::Handle
	     IO::Seekable
	     IO::File
	     IO::Pipe
	     IO::Socket
	     IO::Dir
	     IO::Select
	     IO::Poll

       Some other IO modules don't belong to the perl core but can be loaded as well if they have been installed from CPAN.  You can discover
       which ones exist by searching for "^IO::" on http://search.cpan.org.

       For more information on any of these modules, please see its respective documentation.

DEPRECATED
	   use IO;		  # loads all the modules listed below

       The loaded modules are IO::Handle, IO::Seekable, IO::File, IO::Pipe, IO::Socket, IO::Dir.  You should instead explicitly import the IO
       modules you want.
