Re: Type Globs

Says autark:

You could try to define your own print function, sub print { ... }

You can't override print.

I don't see why it has to be called print (this was mentioned as a specific error reporting problem, I believe)... `sub writeError { print STDERR @_; print FILE @_; # yes I know that should be Mail::Mailer, but I don't know its synta +x open MAIL, '\|/usr/sbin/sendmail admin' or die; print MAIL @_; close MAIL; }` [download] Assuming FILE is already open and is avalible from there. This solution also has the advantage of allowing simple and understandable maintainability.	[reply] [d/l]
