Hi Monks,

One of my fav. books on Perl is Sam Tregars
"Writing Perl Modules for CPAN" (=> link).

In its Chapter [Programming Perl in C] there is
a section in [IO Operations]. It's stated that: 
 ...
 The Perl IO API is currently under development, 
 and it is expected that in the near future Perl 
 will cut its ties to stdio entirely. At that point,
 only C modules that use the PerlIO interface will
 work correctly.
 ...
My question: how ist the situation now (5.8.8/5.10)?
Will my modules fail badly if I mix stdio w/PerlIO
or rely entirely on stdio in the C modules?

Regards & thanks

mwa


PS: I have the paperback (APress) Version 2002
