What causes this bug on XP? Thanks. Module looks useful, but never works. 

use IO::All;

    # Some of the many ways to read a whole file into a scalar
    io('file.txt') > $contents;                 # Overloaded "arrow"
    $contents < io 'file.txt';                  # Flipped but same ope
+ration
    $io = io 'file.txt';                        # Create a new IO::All
+ object
