45 <p><code>IO</code> provides a simple mechanism to load several of the IO modules
46 in one go. The IO modules belonging to the core are:</p>
47 <pre>
48 IO::Handle
49 IO::Seekable
50 IO::File
51 IO::Pipe
52 IO::Socket
53 IO::Dir
54 IO::Select
55 IO::Poll</pre>
56 <p>Some other IO modules don't belong to the perl core but can be loaded
57 as well if they have been installed from CPAN. You can discover which
58 ones exist by searching for ``^IO::'' on <a href="http://search.cpan.org.">http://search.cpan.org.</a></p>
59 <p>For more information on any of these modules, please see its respective
60 documentation.</p>

64 <h1><a name="deprecated">DEPRECATED</a></h1>
65 <pre>
66 use IO; # loads all the modules listed below</pre>
67 <p>The loaded modules are IO::Handle, IO::Seekable, IO::File, IO::Pipe,
68 IO::Socket, IO::Dir. You should instead explicitly import the IO
69 modules you want.</p>
