Re: Using MHonArc inside of mod_perl
Thanks for the replies from people on the list. I solved my problem with the suggestion from Chris Nokleberg. He suggested the IO::String module. It did the trick. I had been using the qx function previously, but I needed variables from within my module to be available inside of MHonArc.

Have you looked into IO::Stringy, and its friends (IO::Scalar,
IO::ScalarArray, IO::Lines)?
perldoc IO::Stringy
NAME
IO-stringy - I/O on in-core objects like strings and
arrays
DESCRIPTION
This toolkit primarily provides modules for performing
both traditional and object-oriented i/o) on things other
than normal filehandles; in particular, IO::Scalar,
IO::ScalarArray, and IO::Lines.
...
An example from perldoc IO::Scalar:
my $s;
$SH = IO::Scalar-new(\$s);
$SH-print("Hel", "lo, "); # OO style...
print $SH "world!\n"; # ...or non-OO style!
Causes $s to be set to:
"Hello, world!\n"
Good luck.

Using MHonArc inside of mod_perl
I am trying to get the MHonArc package to work in conjunction with an in house module. When MHonArc (http://www.mhonarc.org) is run and told to process a single file instead of a directoy full of files, it sends the output to STDOUT which inside of mod_perl in this case is the browser. I am using the process_input() function as outlined in the MHonArc mailing list archives. I need to save the output to a variable. It was suggested by Earl Hood (author of MHonArc) that I tie a string to a filehandle and then dup the filehandle to STDOUT. This sounds great, but I am unsure where to place the code that will allow for this or how this needs to be done with mod_perl. (I read perltie and perlopentut, but it didn't light any bulbs). I got some results, but none that produced the desired results. The closest was getting the output to be directed to the resulting HTML page, but not the variable. I saw a email from 97 in the mod_perl archives that discussed untie *STDOUT and then retying it back to Apache after the section of code was complete, but it showed STDOUT being linked to a file open, how could I assign that to a tied string then a filehandle as suggested by Earl Hood? Is anything like this bulit into mod_perl or another module at this time? http:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The process_input function is running under mod_perl. If any other information is needed please let me know. I have a horribly ugly hack working currently, but it prevents MHonArc from running in a normal manner (i.e. processing mailinglists) Aaron Johnson - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

How do I redirect STDOUT to a string WAS Using MHonArc inside of mod_perl
After one response and my own re-read of my first email, it appears that I have asked far too vague a question. The correct question is: How do I redirect STDOUT to a string? A suggestion was to tie a string to a filehandle and dup the filehandle to STDOUT. Is that valid? If it is, how in blue blazes do I do that? I read the perltie docs, the perlopentut and others I just don't see it. I will re-read them and hope my light bulb works. If anyone can point me to another source of information I would be grateful. Are there any modules for such oddness? I am posting to the mod_perl list in case there are any gotchas doing this under mod_perl. I realize it is border line off topic. I have MHonArc doing what I need it to, but it required a butcher knife when all I think I need is a butter knife.

Re: Using MHonArc inside of mod_perl
Perhaps you just need to use Apache::Filter? If not, you can cannibalize some of the code in Apache::Filter, it re-ties STDOUT.
