Re: Can't use string ("main::STDOUT") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use

[Mr. Muskrat]

in reply to Can't use string ("main::STDOUT") as a symbol ref while "strict refs" in use

GlitchMr is correct however there is another way (this is Perl after all... TIMTOWTDI). Just disable strict refs.

perl -Mstrict -M-strict=refs -e "print {select()} 6"
6

Long version:

use strict;
no strict 'refs'
print {select()} 6;
