Tie::StdHandle - base class definitions for tied handles

SYNOPSIS

package NewHandle;
require Tie::Handle;
@ISA = qw(Tie::Handle);
sub READ { ... }            # Provide a needed method
sub TIEHANDLE { ... }       # Overrides inherited method

The Tie::StdHandle package provide most methods for file handles described in perltie (the exceptions are "UNTIE" and "DESTROY"). It causes tied file handles to behave exactly like standard file handles and allow for selective overwriting of methods.
