#!/../../../perl

BEGIN { use lib '~/perl/lib';     # our std lib doesn't have Slurp or
ScalarArray
        require Exporter;
        use File::Slurp;
        use IO::ScalarArray;}

require Exporter;
use vars qw(@ISA);
@ISA = qw(Exporter IO::ScalarArray  File::Slurp);
@l = read_file();    ## File::Slurp method
$dh = new IO::ScalarArray \@l;    ##

## from here you can treat $dh  like a filehandle.

-good luck
