IO::Handle is automatically loaded when needed since version 0.36,
which has changed the requirements just a little bit.

I have changed that section like so:
--8<---
=head2 print
$status = $csv->print ($io, $colref);
Similar to combine, but it expects an array ref as input (not an array!)
and the resulting string is not really created, but immediately written
to the I<$io> object, typically an IO handle or any other object that
offers a I<print> method. Note, this implies that the following is wrong
in perl 5.005_xx and older:
open FILE, ">", "whatever";
$status = $csv->print (\*FILE, $colref);
as in perl 5.005 and older, the glob C<\*FILE> is not an object, thus it
doesn't have a print method. The solution is to use an IO::File object or
to hide the glob behind an IO::Wrap object. See L<IO::File(3)> and
L<IO::Wrap(3)> for details.
For performance reasons the print method doesn't create a result string.
In particular the I<$csv-E<gt>string ()>, I<$csv-E<gt>status ()>,
I<$csv->fields ()> and I<$csv-E<gt>error_input ()> methods are meaningless
after executing this method.
