NAME

Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah - emulates /dev/zero, /dev/null and /dev/urandom

SYNOPSIS

    tie *HANDLE, 'Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah', 'zero';
    tie *HANDLE, 'Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah', 'null';
    tie *HANDLE, 'Acme::Tie::Handle::Blah', 'urandom';

DESCRIPTION

This module tries to emulate the unix zero, null and urandom devices using tied filehandles. This was made to kill time. I don't think there is a real use for this :)

CAVEATS

Beware of endless loops. On zero, readline can only succeed if $/ eq ``\0''.

BUGS

You can write to a urandom device. This is very wrong :)

The README file in this distribution is empty. This is not a bug, but an example of what /dev/null outputs.
