Re: Mysql and printing result

[theorbtwo]

Yes, there is a perl way to do it. In fact, I can think of at least two. However, there is also a non-perl WTDI that's a lot easier. perl verbose_output_thing.pl|less. (BTW, that should work on both windows and unix, though windows has strange corner cases where it won't work -- with .bat files, and associations, IIRC.)

Thanks but I need it from within perl, the code for printing the result is actually a function that is called from another perl script and not a script by itself.
It's a part of a command line shell I wrote, and when a user enters the command lessOnDB the function is called and the output should be displayed. So I need a stict perl way for doing that.
