# Tie::Handle::Offset(3pm)

Tied handle that hides the beginning of a file

## NAME

Tie::Handle::Offset - Tied handle that hides the beginning of a file

## VERSION

version 0.004

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use Tie::Handle::Offset;
  tie *FH, 'Tie::Handle::Offset', "<", $filename, { offset => 20 };
```

## DESCRIPTION

This modules provides a file handle that hides the beginning of a file. After opening, the file is positioned at the offset location. `"seek()"` and `"tell()"` calls are modified to preserve the offset.

For example, `"tell($fh)"` will return 0, though the actual file position is at the offset.  Likewise, `"seek($fh,80,0)"` will seek to 80 bytes from the offset instead of 80 bytes from the actual start of the file.
