I have just uploaded to CPAN a new release of the IO distribution.

IO is a collection of perl modules which encapsulate all input
and output subroutines into object classes. These include

  IO::Handle	-- IO base class
  IO::File	-- File IO class (FileHandle replacement)
  IO::Pipe	-- Pipe IO class
  IO::Seekable	-- Methods for seekable IO handles
  IO::Select	-- IO handle select class (ala unix system select)
  IO::Socket	-- Socket IO class

This release contains the following changes to the previous release

	o Updated PODs for IO::Handle and IO::File
	o Modified IO.xs so that DESTROY gets called on IO::File
	  objects that were created with IO::File->new_tmpfile
	o Modified the domain2pkg code in IO::Socket so that it
	  does not use blessd refs
	o Created a new package IO::Pipe::End so that pipe specific
	  stuff can be moved out of IO::Handle.
	o Added Ilya's OS/2 changes to Pipe.pm and io_pipe.t

It should be avaliable on mirror sites soon.

Comments are always very welcome.
