Boulder::String - Read and write tag/value data from a string.

   #!/bin/perl
   # Read a B<Stone> from stdin and create a string that can be 
   # passed to a dumb sub, which doesn't know about Stones.
   use Boulder::Stream;
   use Boulder::String;
   
   my $stream = Boulder::Stream->newFh;
   
   # read a stone from stdin
   my $record = <$stream> );
      print $stream $record;
    }

Boulder::String provides access to Boulder IO hierarchical tag/value data. Stone objects printed to the tied string are appended to the string in Boulder format.

The new() method creates a new Boulder::String object. You must provide an input string and a reference to an output string. The input string may be empty.

Write the passed stone in Boulder IO format into $out_string.
