Re^2: Reading from a filehandle written to by a subroutine?

Thanks for the pointers. A bit of background, since I wasn't terribly clear:

I'm trying to get info out of a Subversion repository, using the Subversion perl bindings. One of those modules has a method (cat) where you specify the a target (including a revision number), and it writes that version of the file to a filehandle you give it. So, there's no file for me to open, but I need to be able to read from the resulting filehandle to get back the file from the repository.

The Memory file seems like a promising tack to take, I'll try that.

Thanks.

BrowserUk's code will let you do that, more or less: when you run that code, the printed data will be available in $buffer. "What should it profit a man, if he should win a flame war, yet lose his cool?"	[reply]
