See select. A very good point regarding the "all the printing" part of the question! ameezys: Note that the effect of select is global, so it has the potential of affecting code in modules that you call after the `select`, and if you want to resume printing to `STDOUT` after writing the file, you'll have to store the return value of the first `select` to use for restoring the output handle later. Note you can always print to a specific filehandle, e.g. `print {$filehandle} $output;` or `print STDOUT $output;`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
