Re^4: Passing filehandles to subroutines

I don't see why the same approach wouldn't be applicable in that case if you do it right. Have you tried something like the following?

open PODHTMLFH, ">&=STDOUT" or die "Can't dup STDOUT\n";

# or even more generically

open PODHTMLFH, ">&=".fileno(STDOUT) or die "Can't dup STDOUT\n";

Temporary files are icky.

Makeshifts last the longest.

Eh? How does my program dup'ing STDOUT force Pod::HTML's `open HTML,">-";` to print to mod_perl's tied default filehandle? (and yes, temporary files are very icky indeed) rdfield	[reply] [d/l]

Ah, I see. Well, your case is a valid use of this as a workaround for an apparently sloppily written module, but the emphasis here is on "sloppily written". Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
