You can use IO::String or IO::stringy to create a filehandle that points to a string, not to a file. (I believe IO::String is part of the core in recent perls, IO::stringy may be installed from CPAN or PPM) > I am running some substitutions on a file which has a distinctive > record structure.

If you can change the code it might be best not to print them at all. You may either push them into an array or append them into a string.
