[sf-perl] Programmer's guide to Perl I/O

[David Christensen]

sanfrancisco-pm:

I am looking for a programmer's guide to input/ output on current 
versions of Perl:

- Debian 9.13 -- Perl 5.24.1

- FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p10 -- Perl 5.30.3

- macOS 10.15.6 -- Perl 5.18.4


I feel that I need to understand the "big picture", the details -- 
"layers", binary/ character mode, encoding (UTF-8), etc., -- and the 
various generalized forms -- console, files, and network connections, 
etc..  I am looking for a style of presentation that covers the 
principles and concepts of I/O in general, and then covers the design 
and implementation of the Perl I/O subsystem(s) specifically.  While I 
would expect such to contain examples, I am not looking for a tutorial. 
A practical goal is to learn how to use PerlIO::*, IO::*, and/or other 
modules effectively.


I suspect that my printed books are outdated, but I would appreciate any 
relevant citations:

- "Programming Perl" 4 e.

- "Learning Perl" 2 e.

- "Intermediate Perl" 1 e.

- "Mastering Perl" 1 e.

- "Advanced Perl Programming" 1 e.

- "Perl Cookbook" 2 e.

- Others


Suggestions?
