CGI.pm OO mode plain text

[andyford]

How do you print just tagless text with CGI.pm in OO mode?
In standard mode, you just

print 'text';

[Arunbear]

print 'text'; will also work in OO mode - try it and see.

As will $q->print('some text');

[duff]

Um ... did you try using print 'text';? :-)

[andyford]

I did, but the text never made it. My problem lies elsewhere.

[rhesa]

wild guess:

my $q = CGI->new;

print $q->header();

print 'hello, OO world!';

Should work with OO. But.. if the output doesn't show up, perhaps the print goes to a different filehandle?

open(O,">","/dev/null");
select O;
my $fh = select STDOUT;
warn "fileno is ",fileno($fh),"\n";
select $fh;
print 'text';
__END__
fileno is 3

If you want to print to STDOUT and the fileno reported isn't 1, there's the problem.
