in thread How to get explicity the autoflush var ($|) of a TIED HANDLER?

I can get the $|, since is the value of the select output, tied or not. What I can't ensure is that $| value is from my TIEDHANDLE, or not, since I can't ensure that when PRINT() is called my TIEDHANDLE is selected or not. In 90% of the cases it's select, but I can't open doors for bugs.

    Actually, I'd say more like 9% not 90%. I think the number of times I use select for a handle and then use it as the default for print can be counted on one hand in the past three yeras of coding. Whereas the number of times I've written print HANDLE $somethign is close to at least once per program.

    But that's why I said you can't get to it. You don't know what to select, so you can't see it.
