SYNOPSIS
open $fh, '>:via(symlink)', $fname;
print $fh "link foobar";
close $fh;
DESCRIPTION
The PerlIO layer "symlink" allows you to create a symbolic link by writing to the file handle.
You need to write C"link $name" to the file handle. If the format does not match, "close" will fail with EINVAL.
