In my script I have a place where I run chunks of code and being that I am a lazy programmer I would like to capture STDOUT and combine it with any data I decide to return. 

sub foo {
  my $captured_printed_data;
  my $SH = tie *STDOUT, 'IO::Scalar', \$captured_printed_data;
  $return_data = eval $module_code;
  $return_data = "$captured_printed_data \n$return_data" if(defined($c
+aptured_printed_data) || ($captured_printed_data ne ''));
  
  close $SH;
  untie *STDOUT;
  return $return_data;
}

When I run this using Komodo or command line it works just fine but when I run the script in Apache it doesn't display anything. Like the STDOUT is still tied. I am running Apache 1.3.x on Linux.
