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

I'm trying to capture the output of Devel::Peek's Dump function which outputs to STDERR. The methods outlined in my original post work fine.

I just want to know if there is a better way.

I've tried IO::Scalar (see above).

I've tried Tie::Handle::Scalar. It works but using it results in a warning 'Permission denied at C:/Perl/site/lib/Tie/Handle/Scalar.pm line 114.' I looked and that is the line that deletes the temporary file. I read further and I see that File::Temp provides a much safer means of using temporary files so T::H::S is out.

Tie::STDERR is out mainly because I don't want to capture all messages sent to STDERR, only those generated by D::P's Dump function as mentioned above.

I'm going to be trying IO::String & IO::Stringy later this evening.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
