=head1 NAME

Autom4te::XFile - supply object methods for filehandles with error handling

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Autom4te::XFile;

    $fh = new Autom4te::XFile;
    $fh->open("< file"))
    # No need to check $FH: we died if open failed.
    print <$fh>;
    $fh->close;
    # No need to check the return value of close: we died if it failed.

    $fh = new Autom4te::XFile "> file";
    # No need to check $FH: we died if new failed.
    print $fh "bar\n";
    $fh->close;

    $fh = new Autom4te::XFile "file", "r";
    # No need to check $FH: we died if new failed.
    defined $fh
    print <$fh>;
    undef $fh;   # automatically closes the file and checks for errors.

    $fh = new Autom4te::XFile "file", O_WRONLY|O_APPEND;
    # No need to check $FH: we died if new failed.
    print $fh "corge\n";

    $pos = $fh->getpos;
    $fh->setpos($pos);

    undef $fh;   # automatically closes the file and checks for errors.

    autoflush STDOUT 1;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Autom4te::XFile> inherits from C<IO::File>.  It provides dying
version of the methods C<open>, C<new>, and C<close>.  It also overrides
the C<getline> and C<getlines> methods to translate C<\r\n> to C<\n>.
