Tie::Handle::Offset(3)

NAME
Tie::Handle::Offset - Tied handle that hides the beginning of a file

VERSION
version 0.004

SYNOPSIS
  use Tie::Handle::Offset;

  tie *FH, 'Tie::Handle::Offset', "<", $filename, { offset => 20 };

DESCRIPTION
This modules provides a file handle that hides the beginning of a file. After opening, the file is positioned at the offset location. "seek()" and "tell()" calls are modified to preserve the offset.

For example, "tell($fh)" will return 0, though the actual file position is at the offset. Likewise, "seek($fh,80,0)" will seek to 80 bytes from the offset instead of 80 bytes from the actual start of the file.
