Hello, all.
     I'm working on a large project (Perl) where work is being done to add a
layer of abstraction to I/O calls within the source. The goal of this is to
eventually allow us to move the I/O implementation in Perl away from Stdio
towards something else -- quite probably Sfio.
     Now until very recently, I had not even heard of Sfio so consequently
I'm somewhat lost. Could someone out there familiar with both Sfio and Plan
9's Bio give me a brief synopsis of the relative strengths and weaknesses of
the two?

Regards,
Luther
