IMO having {read,write}_from_filehandle method is a very bad idea,
because of recent changes in Perl (>= 5.8) interaction with UTF-8.
When in UTF-8 locales, Perl can read and write files only if
  * some black magic is performed when opening files (which cannot be
    done on filehandles)
  or
  * files are UTF-8 encoded

Testing this module in a UTF-8 locale with perl >= 5.8 and latin-1 files
should certainly exhibit some problems.
