( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I'm looking for a way to tee STDERR so that all output to it also goes to a file. I'm using ActivePerl v5.20.2 for Windows. I tried code suggested in the topic https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=843501. It does tee STDERR, but not to the file I want. It creates a file named "GLOB(0xf7b278)" and the output goes to that file. It also creates the file I specified, but it's empty

use strict; use warnings; use open qw(:std :utf8); # Set the default encoding for STDIN, STDOUT +& STDERR to UTF-8 use IO::Tee (); my $logname = 'test-tee$.log'; open(my $logfile, ">:encoding(UTF-8)", $logname) or die qq(Can't open +"$logname for writing"\n); # Tee STDERR to log file. If running as Administrator, console window +may disappear quickly! open STDERR2, ">&=STDERR" or die "Failed to alias STDERR: $!"; *STDERR = IO::Tee->new(\*STDERR2, ">$logfile") or die "Failed to tee to aliased STDERR and '$logfile': $!"; print(STDERR "This is a test\n");

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

UPDATE: I found the problem. Line 9 should be:

*STDERR = IO::Tee->new(\*STDERR2, $logfile)

I thought I had tried that also, but apparently not!

  • 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).
