NAME
       Mail::Box::FastScalar - fast alternative to IO::Scalar

SYNOPSIS
         my $fh = Mail::Box::FastScalar->new;
         $fh->open(\my $out);

         my $fh = Mail::Box::FastScalar->new(\my $out);

DESCRIPTION
       Extremely fast IO::Scalar replacement - over 20x improvement in
       getline() and getlines() methods.

   Warnings
       You cannot modify the original reference between calls unless you
       "$obj-"seek(1, 0)> to reset the object - VERY rare usage case.

       $/ must be "undef" or string - "" and \scalar unimplemented
