( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I'm writing a program using the Curses::Application module. One issue I've been noticing is that when a die() occurs and a message is sent to STDERR, I never see it. I'm pretty sure the reason for this is that the message is displayed before my Curses::Application object is destroyed, which restores the terminal to normal line buffering mode. While in curses mode, STDOUT and STDERR don't seem to work properly.

Right now I'm redirecting STDERR to a file, but that seems like a poor solution. Does anyone know of a way to 'store' messages to STDERR, and display them only AFTER the Curses::Application object is destroyed? Or maybe have a function that displays the error message in a dialog before closing down the program?

Thanks!

  • 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:

  • 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).
