in reply to Re^4: Regarding STDOUT and indirect object notation for print
in thread Regarding STDOUT and indirect object notation for print

Thanks.. though, I understood that it (the use statement) would be required for something I explicitly created in code.

I was just thrown off by the built-in nature of STDOUT and its ilk; I thought perhaps IO::Handle would have already been 'used', thus the methods would've been available, but that somehow I wasn't doing it "right". Thanks for the example.
