But, in a cgi-script I wanted to prevent an executable that I call from within the script from dumping output directly to the webpage. This worked fine with 'open(STDOUT,">something-log.txt")'. But now I want to write to the webpage again. 'open(STDOUT,">&STDOUT")' does not only look strange, well, it also doesn't work.
