 # XML Writers object
    147   my $xmlObj = new XML::Writer(OUTPUT=> \$output, NEWLINES=>0)
+;
    148

What does `print $XML::Writer::VERSION` print? What does `print ref \$output` print?	[reply] [d/l] [select]

0.520 did not support this. From the 0.520 documentation: OUTPUT An object blessed into IO::Handle or one of its subclasses (such as IO::File); if this parameter is not present, the module will write to standard output. Passing a string reference was only introduced in 0.530.	[reply]
