-=head1 NAME
-
-open - perl pragma to set default disciplines for input and output
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- use open IN => ":crlf", OUT => ":raw";
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-The open pragma is used to declare one or more default disciplines for
-I/O operations. Any open() and readpipe() (aka qx//) operators found
-within the lexical scope of this pragma will use the declared defaults.
-Neither open() with an explicit set of disciplines, nor sysopen() are
-influenced by this pragma.
-
-Only the two pseudo-disciplines ":raw" and ":crlf" are currently
-available.
-
-The ":raw" discipline corresponds to "binary mode" and the ":crlf"
-discipline corresponds to "text mode" on platforms that distinguish
-between the two modes when opening files (which is many DOS-like
-platforms, including Windows). These two disciplines are currently
-no-ops on platforms where binmode() is a no-op, but will be
-supported everywhere in future.
-
-=head1 UNIMPLEMENTED FUNCTIONALITY
-
-Full-fledged support for I/O disciplines is currently unimplemented.
-When they are eventually supported, this pragma will serve as one of
-the interfaces to declare default disciplines for all I/O.
-
-In future, any default disciplines declared by this pragma will be
-available by the special discipline name ":DEFAULT", and could be used
-within handle constructors that allow disciplines to be specified.
-This would make it possible to stack new disciplines over the default
-ones.
-
- open FH, "<:para :DEFAULT", $file or die "can't open $file: $!";
-
-Socket and directory handles will also support disciplines in
-future.
-
-Full support for I/O disciplines will enable all of the supported
-disciplines to work on all platforms.
