+=head1 NAME
+
+IO - load various IO modules
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    use IO qw(Handle File);  # loads IO modules, here IO::Handle, IO::File
+    use IO;                  # DEPRECATED
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<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 by searching for "^IO::" on http://search.cpan.org.
+
+For more information on any of these modules, please see its respective
+documentation.
+
+=head1 DEPRECATED
+
+    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.
