The sub is called in the same context as {capture()} was called e.g.: @rv = capture { wantarray } ; # returns true $rv = capture { wantarray } ; # returns defined, but not true capture { wantarray }; # void, returns undef {capture()} is able to capture output from subprocesses and C code, which traditional {tie()} methods of output capture are unable to do. *Note:* {capture()} will only capture output that has been written or flushed to the filehandle. If the two scalar references refer to the same scalar, then {STDERR} will be merged to {STDOUT} before capturing and the scalar will hold the combined output of both. capture \&subroutine, \$combined, \$combined; Normally, {capture()} uses anonymous, temporary files for capturing output. If desired, specific file names may be provided instead as additional options. capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, \$stderr, $out_file, $err_file; Files provided will be clobbered, overwriting any previous data, but will persist after the call to {capture()} for inspection or other manipulation. By default, when no references are provided to hold STDOUT or STDERR, output is captured and silently discarded. # Capture STDOUT, discard STDERR capture \&subroutine, \$stdout; # Discard STDOUT, capture STDERR capture \&subroutine, undef, \$stderr; However, even when using {undef}, output can be captured to specific files. # Capture STDOUT to a specific file, discard STDERR capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, undef, $outfile; # Discard STDOUT, capture STDERR to a specific file capture \&subroutine, undef, \$stderr, undef, $err_file; # Discard both, capture merged output to a specific file capture \&subroutine, undef, undef, $mergedfile; It is a fatal error to merge STDOUT and STDERR and request separate, specific files for capture. # ERROR: capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, \$stdout, $out_file, $err_file; capture \&subroutine, undef, undef, $out_file, $err_file; If either STDOUT or STDERR should be passed through to the terminal instead of captured, provide a reference to undef -- {\undef} -- instead of a capture variable. # Capture STDOUT, display STDERR capture \&subroutine, \$stdout, \undef; # Display STDOUT, capture STDERR capture \&subroutine, \undef, \$stderr; == capture_exec() ($stdout, $stderr, $success, $exit_code) = capture_exec(@args); Captures and returns the output from {system(@args)}. In scalar context, {capture_exec()} will return what was printed to {STDOUT}. In list context, it returns what was printed to {STDOUT} and {STDERR} as well as a success flag and the exit value. $stdout = capture_exec('perl', '-e', 'print "hello world"'); ($stdout, $stderr, $success, $exit_code) = capture_exec('perl', '-e', 'warn "Test"'); {capture_exec} passes its arguments to {system()} and on MSWin32 will protect arguments with shell quotes if necessary. This makes it a handy and slightly more portable alternative to backticks, piped {open()} and {IPC::Open3}. The {$success} flag returned will be true if the command ran successfully and false if it did not (if the command could not be run or if it ran and returned a non-zero exit value). On failure, the raw exit value of the {system()} call is available both in the {$exit_code} returned and in the {$?} variable. ($stdout, $stderr, $success, $exit_code) = capture_exec('perl', '-e', 'warn "Test" and exit 1'); if ( ! $success ) { print "The exit code was " . ($exit_code >> 8) . "\n"; } See [perlvar] for more information on interpreting a child process exit code. == capture_exec_combined() ($combined, $success, $exit_code) = capture_exec_combined( 'perl', '-e', 'print "hello\n"', 'warn "Test\n" ); This is just like {capture_exec()}, except that it merges {STDERR} with {STDOUT} before capturing output. *Note:* there is no guarantee that text printed to {STDOUT} and {STDERR} in the subprocess will be appear in order. The actual order will depend on how IO buffering is handled in the subprocess. == qxx() This is an alias for {capture_exec()}. == qxy() This is an alias for {capture_exec_combined()}. = SEE ALSO * [IPC::Open3] * [IO::Capture] * [IO::Utils] * [IPC::System::Simple] = AUTHORS * Simon Flack (original author) * David Golden (co-maintainer since version 1.04) = COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Portions copyright 2004, 2005 Simon Flack.
