I'm dealing with an API that takes a file hanlde to write output to as an argument. The problem is, I need the output right after, and I'd rather not go through the trouble of creating a file just to have to read from it and then delete it afterwards. Is there anyway to redirect a file handle to a scalar, so that when it's written to (e.g., "print $handle $ouptut"), the output ends up in a scalar?
