Since this is a conrtived example...here is my other contrived example. Not to say IO::All isn't cool, i think many of us are just bigger control freaks and can't stand to guess what the module will do and if it will do the right thing.

use File::Spec; open (MYFILE, '<', File::Spec->catfile('my','dir','my_file.txt')) or d +ie "Can't open $file: $!\n"; open(RFILE, '>', File::Spec->catfile('my','dir','reversed.txt')) or di +e "Can't open $rfile: $!\n"; print RFILE reverse <MYFILE>;; use IO::All; my $file = io->catdir('my','dir','my_file.txt')->backwards; my $rfile = io->catdir('my','dir','reversed.txt'); $file > $rfile;

Now if it was IO::DBD::All....just feed it a daatabase and a file of any format and ti does the right thing....well then i might not have much of a job so lets not go there.
