My most esteemed monks.

Here's some code: 

package FileHandle::A;

sub TIEHANDLE {
  my $self =   shift  ;
  my $fh   = [ shift ];
  bless \$fh => $self;
}

sub PRINT {
  my $self = shift;
  my @list = @_;

  my $fh = $$self->[0];
  print $fh @list;
}

tie *STDOUT, 'FileHandle::A', *STDOUT;

print "testing";

Basically, I was getting a Deep recursion error and I tried minimalizing the error to post here. The code I present here segfaults on my machine.

I think I know why... PRINT calls print which calls PRINT which calls print which calls... you get the idea...

I tried a bunch of things already, including CORE::print() and even passing a special parameter to stop the recursion, which indeeds stops it, but... doesn't print.

I know the example looks weird; it really isn't what I want to do, but it demonstrates my problem. Can anyone point me in a direction that solves it?
