Re: use 'select' to change default output handle for entire script

I suppose you could do something like:

open STDOUT, ">>&STDERR" or die "Cannot redirect STDOUT to STDERR. $!"
+;

Hmm, but then if I really wanted to use STDOUT I'd have to reopen it right?	[reply]

Then first open a filehandle to your old STDOUT, before redirecting STDOUT: `open OLDSTDOUT ">&STDOUT" or die "oops: $!"; open STDOUT ">&STDERR" or die "oops: $!"; print OLDSTDOUT "Still to STDOUT..\n";` [download] Paul	[reply] [d/l]
