Bug #27292 for IO-NestedCapture: Accessing Current File Handle for binmode Operations

Subject:

Accessing Current File Handle for binmode Operations

Dear Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp, Hi. This is imacat from Taiwan. I'm trying your IO::NestedCapture, and found it is what I was looking for in the past 5 years. Thank you. However, I have a problem. I need to output and capture Perl utf8 text. utf8 text is an important feature of the Perl 5.8 localization framework. To handle this output correctly, I need to do the following: binmode $FH, ":utf8"; Also, I have to output and capture binary files. To do so I need: binmode $FH; Both requires accessing the current working file handle, but not the previous one or next one. But searching through the documetation of IO-NestedCapture-1.03 I did not see such method. Currently I'm doing this as a workaround, after peeping into the code: binmode IO::NestedCapture->instance->{"STDOUT_current"}[-1], ":utf8"; But I suppose I should not do this. Could there be a way to access the current working file handle? Thank you very much in advance.

That's a good idea. However, I'm not actively working on or with IO::NestedCapture right now, which means that making time to work on it will be a challenge just now. I may be able to take a look at it sometime in the next couple weeks. If you can submit a patch that gives you the access you're looking for that would be of great help and would probably speed me along. If you can include a unit test for the feature as well, that would be even better. Cheers, Andrew On 5/25/07, via RT <bug-IO-NestedCapture@rt.cpan.org> wrote: Show quoted text

That's OK. At least I still have workaround here. It's fine with me as long as you keep it in mind when you are available. Show quoted text

This is also a good idea. However, I suffer from the same problem as you recently. ^^; I can look into it in a few weeks, but you may be already solving this issue then. Thank you very much again for this.
