Abstract Base Class to build modules to capture output

The IO::Capture Module defines an abstract base class that can be used to build modules that capture output being sent on a filehandle such as STDOUT or STDERR.

Several modules that come with the distribution do just that. I.e., Capture STDOUT and STDERR. Also see James Keenan's IO::Capture::Stdout::Extended on CPAN.

See IO::Capture::Overview for a discussion of these modules and examples of how to build a module to sub-class from IO::Capture yourself. If after reading the overview, you would like to build a class from IO::Capture, look here for details on the internals.
