TIED INTERFACE The Perl/Tk Text widget also has built-in TIEHANDLE methods for print and printf statements. This means you can print to file handles tied to a Text widget, and the tied methods automatically insert the print statement's arguments into the Text widget. For example: #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w use POSIX 'acos'; use Tk; use strict; my $mw = MainWindow->new; my $text = $mw->Text(qw/-width 40 -height 10/)->pack; tie *STDOUT, ref $text, $text; print "Hello Text World!\n"; printf "pi ~= %1.5f", acos(-1.0); MainLoop;
