IO::Pager::Page(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Pager::Page(3)NAME
IO::Pager::Page - use IO::Pager to emulate IO::Page, pipe STDOUT to a
pager if STDOUT is a TTY
SYNOPSIS
Pipes STDOUT to a pager if STDOUT is a TTY
DESCRIPTION
IO::Pager is designed to programmaticly decide whether or not to point
the STDOUT file handle into a pipe to program specified in $ENV{PAGER}
or one of a standard list of pagers.
USAGE
BEGIN{
use IO::Pager::Page;
#use I::P::P first, just in case another module sends output to STDOUT
}
print<<HEREDOC;
...
A bunch of text later
HEREDOC
If you wish to forgo the potential for a Broken Pipe foible resulting
from the user exiting the pager prematurely load IO::Pager::Page like
so:
use IO::Pager::Page hush=>1;
