Dear monks:

I am using Benchmark to do some simple tests, for example:

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Benchmark qw[cmpthese timethese];

my @A = qw[this that these those];

my $result = timethese( -5, {
    test     => sub { print @A },
    with_for => sub { print for @A },
    with_join=> sub { print join '', @A },
});

cmpthese($result);

__END__

Problems is that the test functions contain print statement which clogged up my screen when the script is running. Is there some ways to silence these outputs??

Many thanks Lihao
