+PerlIO::Layers (Perl module)
+
+Perl's filehandles are implemented as a stack of layers, with
+the bottom-most usually doing the actual IO and the higher ones
+doing buffering, encoding/decoding or transformations.
+
+PerlIO::Layers allows you to query the filehandle's properties
+concerning these layers.
