# It is trivial to fetch a file by http and save it to an ftp
# server, or send it as an email:

io("http://a.com") > io("ftp://b.com/incoming/myfile");
io("http://a.com") > io("ftp://me:secret@b.com/myfile");
io("ftp://a.com/pub/xyz") > io("mailto:me@c.com");

# You can also use local files, of course:

io("file.txt") > io("mailto:me@c.com?subject=file.txt");

# Or to use the IO object as a filehandle:

my $io = io("ftp://b.com/incoming/xyz")->tie;
print $io "hello world\n";
