Hello all, I'm currently working on a project where I've decided to subclass Apache, and one of the methods I've decided to overload is the print method (so that my main module decides when data actually gets printed, not user modules). Now, I'd like to also override the built-in perl print (like Apache has done) so that module authors can say print ( @my_data ) instead of MyModule::Request->print ( @my_data ). Currently I've tried the following: sub PRINT { MyModule::Request->print ( @_ ); } *print = \&PRINT;
and:
# Same PRINT() as above. *CORE::GLOBAL::print = \&PRINT;
and:
*CORE::print = \&PRINT;
None of them have garnered any success worth mentioning. Explicitly saying MyModule::Request->print ( @my_data ); works as I intended. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here?
You don't say which mod_perl version you are using, Arne.
mp1 uses a tied STDOUT handle, so the correct way to do that is to subclass the Apache package with overriden PRINT method.
mp2 uses PerlIO or the tie interfaces depending on the used perl.
