This module implements a PerlIO layer that discards lines from IO streams. By default, all lines are accepted and passed-through as if no filters are present. Input filters discard input lines, and output filters discard output lines; therefore, input lines (that meet user's criteria) are excluded from input, and in a similar manner when specified, output lines are omitted from output.
The code is re-entrant. Multiple filters can be stacked together without interfering with one another. These filters were designed for read, write, and append handles ( 'r', 'w', 'a'), but will refuse installation for read-write mode.
