This is the README file for File::Alter, a module for in memory manipulation of files. Please refer to 'perldoc File::Alter' after installation for details. ##################################################################### * Description File::Alter File::Alter allows in memory manipulation of a file's contents. The modified buffer will B<NOT> be written back to the file at any point! This is useful if you want to massage read-only files, or files you do not wish to alter, before they are read or used by an application. ##################################################################### * Installation File::Alter follows the standard perl module install process perl Makefile.PL make make test make install The module uses no C or XS parts, so no c-compiler is required. ###################################################################### AUTHOR This module by Jos Boumans <kane@cpan.org>.
