Hi,
I don't speak format, perlform is short on examples
so I haven't figured out the answer to your question but I kinda like this
#!/usr/bin/perl -- use strict; use warnings; Main( @ARGV ); exit( 0 ); { use constant +{ qw{ TYPE 0 NAME 1 ACTION 2 } }; ## to undefine globals TYPE/NAME/ACTION outside of this block use namespace::clean; format OFG = @<<<<<<<< @<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< @<<<<<< $_[TYPE], $_[NAME], $_[ACTION] . } format THREECHARFORMAT = ^<<~~ $_[0] . sub fwThree { return formatWrite( *STDOUT, "::THREECHARFORMAT", @_ ); } sub formatWrite { use IO::Handle; my $handle = shift; my $format = shift; local @_ = @_; $handle->format_name( $format ); write $handle; } sub Main { fwThree("foobar"); formatWrite( *STDOUT, "::OFG", qw/ TYPE NAME ACTION / ); formatWrite( *STDERR, "::OFG", TYPE(), NAME(), ACTION() ); } __END__ $ perl format.fill.overflow.11113982.pl foo bar TYPE NAME ACTION Undefined subroutine &main::TYPE called at format.fill.overflow.111139 +82.pl line 56.
I would abandon format, switch to Perl6::Form, cause format appears to be one ignored wart (see Perl format line breaking, $FORMAT_LINE_BREAK_CHARACTERS apparently ignored )
Perl6::Form comes with demos, not sure if one fits what you want
https://metacpan.org/source/DCONWAY/Perl6-Form-0.090/demo/demo_break_word.pl
