To get the output of STDERR, eval comes along with a neat variable that captures the errors during the evaluation process.

To capture STDOUT, you have two options:
  • Log STDOUT from the beginning
  • Print it a file. Then open that file and print it to the screen. This is what I hacked up and I am *certain* there is a better way for one of these.

Log from beginning:
BEGIN{ open(STDOUT,">stdout.log")||die"$!"; }

#2
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; open(LOG,"log.txt") ||die"$!"; select LOG; #...do stuff here close LOG; select STDOUT; # I love ar0n :) my $thing = do { local @ARGV = "foo.txt"; <> }; print $thing;
That way you get the stuff printed to the file and to STDOUT. I am sure there is a better way to do it. Monks, enlighten me(us). :)
UPDATE: I just noticed I really messed up on the question. Forgive me.

  • 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.
