How do I redirect STDIN

[Ron Smith]

Hi all,
   
  How would I redirect the output of the print line to an array instaed of 
STDOUT?
   
  my $firstBar = 5;
  print "*" while $firstBar, $firstBar--;
   
  I've looked in several places, including the Camel Book and the Cookbook. 
Everything seems to be refering to a filehandle instead.
   
  ...any suggestions??
