Instead of

$_;

as the last line of the sub, try

()

It has to do with the return value of the sub, which is $_ in this case, and need to be an empty list if you want no output. The return value of the sub needs to be a list suitable for processing by the original file handle. In this case silence is an empty list.

If all you want to do is capture the output, not process it, use the code from the Filter::Handle module

Filter \*STDERR, sub {push @DATA, "@_"; ()};

noisy stuff occurs...

UnFilter \*STDERR;

@DATA now holds all the noise emitted on STDERR.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
