http://www.jamesraposa.com/index e dot dot dot - a mostly about the Internet weblog by James Raposa en http://www.jamesraposa.com/index/2006/01/07#perl_stdout_capture Here's a terrific little chunk of code I found while searching for a way to capture some output from a Perl script, the output of which was being used in a Server-Side-Include.<br /><br />I wanted the ability to use the same script, capture the output into a variable, then "escape" the output for use as a javascript feed.<br /><br />It works like a charm. All output going to STDOUT is captured into a variable without requiring any modification to your original subroutine.<br /><br />You're then able to do some work on it before PRINTing it to the restored STDOUT.<br />Try it for yourself.<br /><!--dl_filename:stdout_redir.pl-->
