  Description     : Supply termios(3) methods to IO:Handle objects

This class extends the generic IO::Handle object class by providing 
methods which access the system's terminal control termios(3) 
operations. These methods are primarily of interest when dealing 
with TTY devices, including serial ports.

Linux supports a non-POSIX extension to the usual termios interface 
which allows arbitrary baud rates to be set. IO::Termios can 
automatically make use of this ability through the Linux::Termios2 
module which is already in Debian as package liblinux-termios2-perl. 
This module will be used automatically and transparently to allow 
set*baud methods to set any rate allowed by the kernel/driver.
