| Subject: | seek() method should return 1 upon success, 0 otherwise. |
I am using perl v5.8.5 that I build on Fedora Core 2 Linux.
I could not get IO::String to work with the Archive::Zip method readFromFileHandle(). The problem is that Archive::Zip expects seek() to return a "status" of 1 for success, 0 otherwise.
IO::Seekable specifies that the seek() method returns 1 upon success, 0 otherwise: So I think the Archive::Zip class is correct to examine the return value of seek().
I have attached a slightly modifed 1.05 version of String.pm that does return the "status" from seek().

=head1 NAME
IO::String - Emulate file interface for in-core strings
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use IO::String;
$io = IO::String->new;
$io = IO::String->new($var);
tie *IO, 'IO::String';
# read data
<$io>;
$io->getline;
read($io, $buf, 100);
# write data
print $io "string\n";
$io->print(@data);
syswrite($io, $buf, 100);
select $io;
printf "Some text %s\n", $str;
# seek
$pos = $io->getpos;
$io->setpos(0); # rewind
$io->seek(-30, -1);
seek($io, 0, 0);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<IO::String> module provides the C<IO::File> interface for in-core
strings. An C<IO::String> object can be attached to a string, and
makes it possible to use the normal file operations for reading or
writing data, as well as for seeking to various locations of the string.
This is useful when you want to use a library module that only
provides an interface to file handles on data that you have in a string
variable.
Note that perl-5.8 and better has built-in support for "in memory"
files, which are set up by passing a reference instead of a filename
to the open() call. The reason for using this module is that it
makes the code backwards compatible with older versions of Perl.
The C<IO::String> module provides an interface compatible with
C<IO::File> as distributed with F<IO-1.20>, but the following methods
are not available: new_from_fd, fdopen, format_write,
format_page_number, format_lines_per_page, format_lines_left,
format_name, format_top_name.
The following methods are specific to the C<IO::String> class:
=over 4
=item $io = IO::String->new
=item $io = IO::String->new( $string )
The constructor returns a newly-created C<IO::String> object. It
takes an optional argument, which is the string to read from or write
into. If no $string argument is given, then an internal buffer
(initially empty) is allocated.
The C<IO::String> object returned is tied to itself. This means
that you can use most Perl I/O built-ins on it too: readline, <>, getc,
print, printf, syswrite, sysread, close.
=item $io->open
=item $io->open( $string )
Attaches an existing IO::String object to some other $string, or
allocates a new internal buffer (if no argument is given). The
position is reset to 0.
=item $io->string_ref
Returns a reference to the string that is attached to
the C<IO::String> object. Most useful when you let the C<IO::String>
create an internal buffer to write into.
=item $io->pad
=item $io->pad( $char )
Specifies the padding to use if
the string is extended by either the seek() or truncate() methods. It
is a single character and defaults to "\0".
=item $io->pos
=item $io->pos( $newpos )
Yet another interface for reading and setting the current read/write
position within the string (the normal getpos/setpos/tell/seek
methods are also available). The pos() method always returns the
old position, and if you pass it an argument it sets the new
position.
There is (deliberately) a difference between the setpos() and seek()
methods in that seek() extends the string (with the specified
padding) if you go to a location past the end, whereas setpos()
just snaps back to the end. If truncate() is used to extend the string,
then it works as seek().
=back
=head1 BUGS
In Perl versions < 5.6, the TIEHANDLE interface was incomplete.
If you use such a Perl, then seek(), tell(), eof(), fileno(), binmode() will
not do anything on an C<IO::String> handle. See L<perltie> for
details.
