+
+Tie::StdHandle - base class definitions for tied handles
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+    package NewHandle;
+    require Tie::Handle;
+
+    @ISA = qw(Tie::Handle);
+
+    sub READ { ... }		# Provide a needed method
+    sub TIEHANDLE { ... }	# Overrides inherited method
+

+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<Tie::StdHandle> package provide most methods for file handles described
+in L<perltie> (the exceptions are C<UNTIE> and C<DESTROY>).  It causes tied
+file handles to behave exactly like standard file handles and allow for
+selective overwriting of methods.
