in reply to how does print know what filehandle to use, when in a diamond in-place edit loop?

You can get the current selected filehandle by: 
select(my $selected = select(my $dummy));
print $selected;

You may get the name of a glob (e.g. "main::ARGVOUT") or a globref, depending on what was passed to select before.
