Re: CUPS Printing - Using a Variable as a Filename

Reading the perldoc printFile says it takes a filename not a filehandle: "You must provide the name of the file and a title for the job."

You might could use File::Temp (possibly after setting $ENV{TMPDIR} to something like /dev/shm depending on the OS) and write there, then pass that path to printFile.

possibly after setting `$ENV{TMPDIR}` to something like `/dev/shm` depending on the OS Note that File::Temp supports a `DIR` parameter to create the temporary files in specific locations.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
