NAME
       IO::Socket::ByteCounter - Perl extension to track the byte sizes of data in and out of a
       socket

SYNOPSIS
           use IO::Socket::ByteCounter qw('IO::Socket');

       or:

           use IO::Socket::ByteCounter;
           ...
           IO::Socket::ByteCounter->record_bytes('IO::Socket');

       then:

           ... normal IO::Socket::INET object (as $sock) use ...

           print 'Bytes out: ',   $sock->get_bytes_out,   "\n";
           print 'Bytes in: ',    $sock->get_bytes_in ,   "\n";
           print 'Bytes total: ', $sock->get_bytes_total, "\n";

METHODS
       record_bytes()

       Takes a list of package names (or IO::Socket based objects) for which to turn on byte
       counting.

       Its also creates 3, hopefully, self explanitory methods for the socket in question:

       $sock->get_bytes_in()
       $sock->get_bytes_out()
       $sock->get_bytes_total()

       _get_byte_size()

       Returns size of strings passed in bytes. Used internally.

TODO
       Add [m]any methods that need bytes counted.
