I’m curious if I can toggle between printing to STDOUT or STDERR based on some value or inline expression (without using an if statement).
print ($someFlag ? STDOUT : STDERR) "hello world!"
Obviously, that syntax doesn’t work.
I think this will do what you want:
A similar example can be seen in the documentation for print. Use typeglobs so that it will run under
use strict.Another strategy is to define your own printing function that will behave differently, depending on the value of
$someFlag.
