Re: How to route a format into a variable

~~There are some modules like IO::Stringy that allow doing I/O on variables. You should be able to get what you want using one of those modules.~~

Update: Don't go there. There's no cheese down that corridor.

print map { my ($m)=1<<hex($_)&11?' ':'';
$m.=substr('AHJPacehklnorstu',hex($_),1) }
split //,'2fde0abe76c36c914586c';

write does not work with tied handles, probably because a format is different from a file handle (though both are stored in and accessed through globs), and those modules create tied file handles, not "format handles". You would use formline and $^A as in Kanji's example below, or see what I once did for a more complicated example.	[reply]
