The IO modules\nbelonging to the core are:\n\nIO::Handle\nIO::Seekable\nIO::File\nIO::Pipe\nIO::Socket\nIO::Dir\nIO::Select\nIO::Poll\n\nSome other IO modules don't belong to the perl core but can be loaded as well if they have been\ninstalled from CPAN. You can discover which ones exist with this query:\n<https://metacpan.org/search?q=IO%3A%3A>.\n\nFor more information on any of these modules, please see its respective documentation.\n",
