I've written a module to filter output on a filehandle. I think it would be a nice addition to CPAN. Here's my information: Benjamin Trott [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rhumba.pair.com/ben/ BTROTT The module I've written is (tentatively) called Filter::Handle, and it allows users to install an output handler to filter output on a particular filehandle. For example, you could install a handler to prepend every statement sent to print with the line number of the calling script where it was invoked. DSLI: cdpr Description: Filter output filehandles I've been discussing issues of interface and implementation on PerlMonks. I've received some contributions/comments from merlyn and chromatic. chromatic, in particular, expressed interest in such a module. So did Adam. (These are PerlMonks uses, btw). bye, Ben
