I want to eval() a small Perl "scriptlet" and capture stdout (the script will print a few datapoints)

Being mostly a windows person, I never really got familiar with stdin/out/err...

I think eval() returns the value of the last statement...but the "script" print statements should be going to stdout...

Can I catch them? Is stdout just a never ending buffer? Can I just read it like a variable at anytime?

Thanks for any clarification on how this works
