1 IO::Capture
2
3 The IO::Capture Module defines an abstract base class that can be
4used to create any number of useful sub-classes that capture output
5being sent on a filehandle such as STDOUT or STDERR.
6 Several modules come with the distribution that define sub-
7classes of IO::Capture to do just that. (I.e., capture STDOUT and STDERR)
8See the man page IO::Capture::Overview for a discussion of these
9modules and how to build a module to sub-class the B<IO::Capture>
10class yourself.
11 To build and install this module, follow the standard procedures:
12
13 $ perl Makefile.PL
14 $ make
15 $ make test
16 $ su
17 # make install

22CHANGES:
23 I found a couple of problems that made me re-think the module
24 IO::Capture::ErrorMessages. As a result, I am removing this
25 module from the distribution. It is now depreciated and will
26 be remove in the next release. IO::Capture::Stderr now has
27 has the same functionality that IO::Capture::Stderr did previously,
28 and can be used instead.
29
30 I have added a new parameter to IO::Capture::Stderr, "FORCE_CAPTURE_WARN".
31 It controls capturing text sent via warn(), if $SIG{__WARN__} has been
32 changed. The default is to let the text go to the handler set in
33 $SIG{__WARN__}. If you want to override this, set FORCE_CAPTURE_WARN
34 to a 1.
