3Re: Best Way to Redirect STDERR to a Scalar

[jeffa]

I am curious to see if the following works for you or not:

use strict;
use warnings;
use IO::Scalar;

my $str;
my $err = tie *STDERR, 'IO::Scalar', \$str;

print STDERR "captured\n";

undef $err;
untie *STDERR;

print STDERR "not captured\n";

UPDATE:
whoops, this is exactly what shenme already said. My apologies.
