Mail::Box::FastScalar(3)

NAME
Mail::Box::FastScalar - fast alternative to IO::Scalar

SYNOPSIS
  my $fh = Mail::Box::FastScalar->new;
  $fh->open(\my $out);

  my $fh = Mail::Box::FastScalar->new(\my $out);

DESCRIPTION
Extremely fast IO::Scalar replacement - over 20x improvement in "getline()" and "getlines()" methods.

Contributed by "Todd Richmond" ("richmond@proofpoint.com")

  Warnings
You cannot modify the original reference between calls unless you "$obj-"seek(1, 0)> to reset the object - VERY rare usage case.

$/ must be "undef" or string - "" and \scalar unimplemented
