Hi,
My program runs as a child process of a process that its STDOUT was
redirected to a file. (open STDOUT, ">$logfile").
Obviously, the child process inherits the STDOUT redirection. My
question is: if I need to write something to the real output (for
example, the terminal in unix), how can I claim back the original
STDOUT?
Thanks, Yosi

American Heritage Dictionary:
Usage Note: [...] one who uses alright, especially in formal writing,
runs the risk that readers may view it as an error or as the willing
breaking of convention.
That's sounds kinda like what Xah does, and that's why I flag it as
hypocrisy.

If stage 1 of a script has written a temp file
stored some data in
it, and closed it, and the stage 2 of the script
needs to open and read this file,
failure is "unlikely" , and I feel
little compunction in the error reporting
being a little vicious.

I have a related question here. One case which the so far posted solutions
don't address is the use of compiled regular expressions with the qr
operator. Many modules can take qr regular expressions for filtering or
homing in some particular datum. However, in some cases I'd like to use a
negated test for matching. I'm not really willing to extend the original
module code if I can avoid it. So, can one easily negate a qr-regexp when
the module code supposedly uses =~ for testing?
PS: The module in this case is:
Win32::IE::Mechanize
