Frontier::Client -> Debug to file

DreamT has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

Frontier::Client has the posasibility to use a debug flag:

$server = Frontier::Client->new( 'url' => 'http://betty.userland.com/R
+PC2',
'encoding' => 'ISO-8859-1',
'debug' => 1
);

This works, but for logging reasons i'd like to capture the log output to file instead. Is this possible? Maybe theres a general 'Perl way' to capture debug output to file?

There's no such thing as debug output per se. Let's have a look what really happens under the hood: http://kobesearch.cpan.org/htdocs/Frontier-RPC/Frontier/Client.pm.html#call- Debug output is printed to current handle, which is STDOUT by default. You can redirect the output from the shell, or capture output with Capture::Tiny or similar techniques, or mess with select to make it temporarily go to a different handle. There are probably more ways to do it.	[reply]

Hi, Opening a REALLY old node here:) First of all, thank you for your reply (if you are around to read this). Secondly, I've messed around with this (the select method) when I got your reply. It worket great then, but now I have problems to get it to work with FastCGI. I know that FastCGI uses STDOUT and STDERR in another way, but I don't know how to solve my problem. Any idea?	[reply]

Are you restoring the old handles? Capture::Tiny does that	[reply]
