crouchingpenguin, thanks for the suggestion. I don't like the IO::Scalar solution very much, for the same reasons I don't like using IO::String in perl 5.8.x: in-memory filehandles should work out of the box (at least this is what I thought). I tried to code a quick solution here just to work around the problem without the need to install yet another module.
There is also another reason why I don't like IO::Scalar very much: it does not work with Archive::Zip. This is where all really started: you can't pass an in-memory filehandle to Archive::Zip, simply because it contains a seekability test that will fail. And, sadly enough, it will explicitly fail for IO::Scalar as well.

Don't fool yourself.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
