 IO - load various IO modules

 "IO" provides a simple mechanism to load several of the IO modules in one
 go.  The IO modules belonging to the core are:

       IO::Handle
       IO::Seekable
       IO::File
       IO::Pipe
       IO::Socket
       IO::Dir
       IO::Select
       IO::Poll

 Some other IO modules don't belong to the perl core but can be loaded as
 well if they have been installed from CPAN.  You can discover which ones
 exist with this query:  <https://metacpan.org/search?q=IO%3A%3A>.

 For more information on any of these modules, please see its respective
 documentation.

     use IO;                # loads all the modules listed below

 The loaded modules are IO::Handle, IO::Seekable, IO::File, IO::Pipe,
 IO::Socket, IO::Dir.  You should instead explicitly import the IO modules
 you want.
