 %description
 This module implements a bare-bones class specifically for the purpose of
-capturing data from the XML::Writer module. XML::Writer expects an IO::Handle
-object and writes XML data to the specified object (or STDOUT) via it's print()
-method. This module simulates such an object for the specific purpose of
-providing the required print() method.
-
-It is recommended that $writer->end() is called prior to calling $s->value() to
-check for well-formedness.
