Re: open STDOUT to a subroutine reference?

in reply to open STDOUT to a subroutine reference?

IO::Callback to the rescue! (It's a module so cool, I couldn't stand to see it languishing unmaintained on CPAN, so I took over maintenance.)

use IO::Callback;

# Here's the coderef
my $code = sub {
    my $str = shift;
    print STDERR "This is really bad: $str";
};

# Turn it into a filehandle opened in write mode
my $fh = IO::Callback->new('>', $code);

# Select that filehandle (makes it the default for print, say, etc).
select($fh);

# Print something - it gets passed to the coderef!
print "Hello World\n";
