This is the Debian GNU/Linux libio-stringy-perl version of the IO-stringy package by Eryq . IO-stringy provides Perl modules for I/O from scalar variables or arrays of scalars. This package was put together by Dirk Eddelbuettel from sources obtained from http://www.perl.com/CPAN-local/authors/Eryq/IO-stringy-1.207.tar.gz It is also available from every other CPAN mirror. Visit http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ to find a Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN) site near you. The only change for the Debian package was the addition of the debian/ files. The package was renamed to match the Debian Policy which aims at consistent names for Perl Module packages. Upstream authors: Primary Maintainer David F. Skoll (dfs@roaringpenguin.com).
