Tie a file handle to a variable

[Carlo Filippini]

Hi
how can I tie a file handle to a variable (probably tie is not
the right perl terminology in this case)? Basically I want that
everything that is written to a file is copied into a variable as
well. Of course I could read the file again, something like

while (<FH>){
....
}

but I need to chenge the variable dinamically.
Is it possible somehow?

Thanks
Carlo

Sounds like you want IO::Tee and IO::Scalar

Note that as of 5.8 functionality similar to that of IO::Scalar is now
in the Perl core (perldoc -f open).
