in reply to Making my own PerlIO layer

Have you seen the pod for PerlIO::via? That gives you the interface specs you need. It's very similar to a tied class in spirit.

You've probably seen that, since you mention the QuotedPrint example. What function is not implemented? What does your attempt look like?

I've used liz's PerlIO::via::MD5 in practical applications. You may get some help by examining that module, too.

    So far, I've only implemented the PUSHED routine, as the docs seem to indicate that that's all that's required. I would have thought that OPEN would have been required, but I gather that if it's not implemented, it will defer to the next lowest layer.
