perlquestion nop Hi. I am using a module with a method that writes to STDOUT. STDOUT is hardcoded; I'd prefer not go in and mess with the module. How can I capture STDOUT into a variable? <code> my $a = ??? # do something to capture STDOUT into $a # create a worksheet and fill my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("-"); # do stuff to fill spreadsheet $workbook->close; ???? # return STDOUT to standard location # and now do something intesting with $a </code> [nop]
