I seriously doubt if comparing to \*STDOUT will do. After all, a filehandle is a special entry in a typeglob, it's not just a plain scalar that you can compare. It's not even a reference.

But you can always use fileno, and applying the snippet of code on the page, you can do:

if(fileno($fh)==fileno(STDOUT)) { # ... }

And yes, fileno(STDOUT) is allowed by strict.

There could be a bit of a problem if $fh is a tied filehandle instead of a physical handle. In that case, fileno will return -1, which is different from the default value for STDOUT, which is 1. If you tie STDOUT too, then you're in trouble.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
