readChars($fileHandle,$length)

Params: reference - Filehandle reference length - number of bytes to read Returns: a string

ensurePos($fileHandle,$prePosition,$postPosition,$amountNeeded)

This method was aadded due to an odd behavior with Perl5.8 read would sometimes put the file pointer 1 byte beyond where it was supposed to be.
