in reply to Re: Disabling Buffering
in thread Disabling Buffering

Fletch, that's not the question I am asking an answer to.

What I want is a clean way of making both STDERR and STDOUT hot for the entire perl script. I just want to add code at the top of the script so that when I do my check to see if I want buffering I can add code to make the filehandles hot.

This is what I want ideally if possible: 

if(want to buffer) {
.....
something to make STDERR and STDOUT hot for entire script
....
}

TIA.

    So do it. If you set autoflush on a handle it'll stay unbuffered until something else sets it back. Unless you have code that's twiddling $| or doing STDOUT->autoflush( 0 ) they should stay that way.

      Fletch, I have been looking for a way to catch stdout and stderr from my own Win32::Process::Create() call -- looks like you got that problem handled, can you please reply with your method? Thanks so much, and yes I'm desperate... Mark
