Have you looked into IO::Stringy, and its friends (IO::Scalar,
IO::ScalarArray, IO::Lines)?

perldoc IO::Stringy

NAME
       IO-stringy - I/O on in-core objects like strings and
       arrays

DESCRIPTION
       This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing
       both traditional and object-oriented i/o) on things other
       than normal filehandles; in particular, IO::Scalar,
       IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Lines.
...

An example from perldoc IO::Scalar:

           my $s;
           $SH = IO::Scalar->new(\$s);
           $SH->print("Hel", "lo, ");         # OO style...
           print $SH "world!\n";              # ...or non-OO style!

       Causes $s to be set to:

           "Hello, world!\n"

Good luck.
