Re: Can I print the result to a file

If you have control over the shell, simply redirect output to a file or another process:

$ perl myprog.pl > output
$ perl myprog.pl | less

If you need to print to a file from within the program, you'll have to close STDOUT and reopen it to a file. The shell's the way to do this.

Or instead of reopening STDOUT you can change the format name to the name of the filehandle you want to print out to. `open (FOO, "foo"); format FOO= blah blah write FOO;` [download] This will assume that you want to print format FOO to the filehandle FOO. Cheers	[reply] [d/l]
