Re^3: Need Help: Capture Print Outputs from a Function

True, but it is guarenteed to work even if someone uses print STDOUT stuff;, when select won't.

The case of that where I got bitten is when you pass \*STDOUT to some module and internally it uses

printf { $self->{fh} } "%s\n", 'stuff';

Which is not a completely uncommon scenario.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

Good point! Maybe I'll start using argless `select` instead of `*STDOUT`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
