+=head1 NAME
+
+PerlIO::scalar - support module for in-memory IO.
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+   open($fh,"<...",\$scalar);
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<PerlIO::scalar> only exists to use XSLoader to load C code that provides
+support for treating a scalar as an "in memory" file.
+
+All normal file operations can be performed on the handle. The scalar
+is considered a stream of bytes. Currently fileno($fh) returns C<undef>.
