Question

Greetings ,

I can close the STDERR in perl using;

close(STDERR)

and after executing some logic , I want to open it back again.
How can I do it?

I tried

open(STDERR,">&STDERR");

and didn’t work.

Thanks in advance.

Why do you want to close STDERR?

You could put it aside…

open(FOO, ">/dev/null"); # or ">nul" on Windows
*TEMP = *STDERR;
*STDERR = *FOO;
... then
*STDERR = *TEMP;
