I asked a similar question before (teeing the output), but had a
different needs and would like to ask again.
I'd like to save the complete page by making a very long string. That is,
the complete (embperl processed) page will be stored into one field in the
database.
I'd like to do it at the same time when I send the page to the browser.
This is needed only on a few pages.
If there's a way to change the output handle inside the page, I'd like to
do something like
===============
[-
... Process all ...
buffer the output in a string variable named $page.
-]
<!-- save to database -->
[-
insert into table values (id, '$page')
-]
<!-- send to browser -->
[+$page+]
================
I know I can do it the cgi way or equivalent (like $str .=
qq[<table>...];) but the resulting code looked very tangled and I feel
there should be a simpler way.
I checked Execute method (since it has the "output" option) but from the
documentation, I can't figure out how to get the output buffer's contents
before it's output to the output file.
Execute({
inputfile => "degree_plan_printable.epl",
outputfile => "degree_plan_printable4.epl"
});
What I need is something similar to php's ob_start, ob_get_contents, and
ob_end_flush.
I'd appreciate any idea.
PS. I could possibly use embpexec.pl but it's giving me this error. Also,
it's not my preferred way.
========================================================== ==============
$ embpexec.pl degree_plan_printable.epl
ld.so.1: <SNIP>perl: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/<SNIP>/Embperl.so:
symbol ap_strchr: referenced symbol not found. Killed
