Perl lets you open a reference to a scalar variable as a file.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $string  =3D "line 1\nline 2\nline 3\n";

open my $fh, "<", \$string;

while (<$fh>) {
     print "Printing $_";
}

close $fh;

# Printing line 1
# Printing line 2
# Printing line 3

$fh is a filehandle like any other. Can you use that?
